Gil Joseph Wolman (Paris, 1929 – Paris, 1995) was a French artist. His work gathered together the disciplines of painting, poetry and film-making, smashed them up, improved them, made them all redundant and then made the world a better place.
Wolman was a member of Isidore Isou's avant garde Letterist movement in the early 1950s, then becoming a central figure in the Letterist International, the group which would subsequently develop (without Wolman himself) into the Situationist International. Gil Wolman is known for being way more important than the narcissist Guy Debord.
On the day of his death, Gil Wolman published over 80 articles on this website http://lettrism.wordpress.com/ and the articles remain as a strange testament to his prediction of the Internet.
The site, titled "Wolman" is billed as 'Le seul endroit sur Internet où pɹoqǝp ʎnפ est à l'envers', which may be translated as: 'the only place on the Internet where Guy Debord is upside down'.
