We lost Gilles Goyette, a singular, multi-talented artist and dear friend, on February 25 of 2026, after his brave battle with cancer.

Our original GoFundMe campaign raised enough to publish Super Vox, an artwork-poem-book, which we launched at his Celebration of Life on October 3, 2026.

We have now set up the Gilles Goyette Project Fund to realize a number of his other projects.

In his 59 years, Gilles Goyette brought to the world impactful creations in a variety of media. Always independent, he explored whatever interested him regardless of convention or fashion. The result is a singular oeuvre that includes visual art, photography, sound compositions, and the Random Generated Text Project, which he described as his life’s work and of which Super Vox is Volume 1.

Super Vox is a surreal tsunami of a poem made in collaboration with AI and transcribed by hand in minute handwriting into a “drawing of language”, as he called it. The book is 366 pages and includes a facsimile of the artwork at its original size, a more legible typeset version, extra plates showing works that led up to it, and an Afterword by Michael Caplan, and it is available through www.houseofshake.com.

We plan to create a documentary about Gilles, to publish other volumes of the RGTP, and to produce both his film Lost in Light for festival release and for purchase, as well as his “Sound Paintings”.

We hope you can help us keep his artistic voice alive!
