The idea

Nothing is real

THIS MUSEUM DOESN’T EXIST
THESE ALIENS DON’T EXIST
THESE PEOPLE DON’T EXIST
THESE ART PIECES DON’T EXIST

ALL THE CONTENT HAS BEEN

So why this project?

First, it started as fun. Like many people I wanted to try MidJourney and ChatGPT. As a scientific journalist and author specialised in zoology, digital artist and fan of science-fiction, I naturally started to generate images of extraterrestrial lifeforms. This quickly led me to an impressive collection. That’s why I decided to launch the Xenobiology Museum project, to display my lovely alien bestiary… but not only.

My goal is especially to raise awareness about the limitless possibilities offered by AI generating tools, and the dangers it represents.

If you can make a place full of alien creatures look like it’s entirely real, you can make people believe anything…
