TECHNIQUE & FINE-ART & PHILOSOPHY
Bijouti-Tech can boast of having a 'Triple-A' source of inspiration
INSPIRATION
Design Studio Bijouti-Tech
Beauty can touch us the way love does. Bijouti-Tech wants to use that power to look at technology differently: not only as a source of pollution, but increasingly as a means of making our planet cleaner and healthier.
Since the Industrial Revolution, technology has given us a great deal, but it has also placed a heavy burden on our environment. That same technology now offers more and more possibilities for repairing damage and developing more sustainable solutions. My sea-lock invention is one example.
We now know how vulnerable our planet is, and what responsibility we carry for our only home in this immense universe.
But responsibility is not the only force that can move us. There is also Beauty. Beauty is more than decoration. It can invite us to look more closely, act more carefully, and want to preserve what matters. In that sense, it can become a quiet, almost mystical magnet for Good Actions.
Bijouti-Tech wants to make the beauty of technology visible — wherever functionality, imagination, and care for our environment strengthen one another.
BIJOUTI-TECH ENCOURAGES GOOD ACTIONS
From my position I want to emphasize the beauty of our technology. Beauty encourages man to lead a more balanced, peaceful life. My website is part of that effort. LOCKY SIRENS, my innovative sluice concept, is an example of technology that benefits our world, and was inspired by Beauty and Simplicity. Summer 2013 was my Locky Sirens Eureka moment. Technical information about the invention on the sea-lock webpage.
ABOUT ME
My name is Robert C. Smit. I live and work in Heemskerk, the Netherlands. For decades, my life and work have moved between fine art, mechanical engineering, and practical philosophy.
My philosophical search brought me, among other things, to U.G. Krishnamurti and Advaita. I began drawing at an early age; later, fine art and Technical Design became lasting parts of my work.
To me, these worlds belong together:
Technology shows how something works.
Art shows how something touches us.
Philosophy asks why it matters.
