Emily Nicoll is a Canadian artist and DJ who creates digitally layered compositions under the name ENICOLL, working across 3D software, code, and photographic manipulation.,Her work returns repeatedly to floral forms, pairing the rigid symmetry of natural, Fibonacci-based structures with psychedelic, hypnotic colour and texture.,She is also the founder, curator and label manager of the Toronto-based label Aquaregia Records, for which she designs original album artwork.
Nicoll's visual practice began with the album artwork she made for Aquaregia Records, the Toronto-based label she launched in 2015.,As a DJ she performs propulsive, cerebral techno sets that explore the genre's deeper edges.Her earliest covers were processed photographs, and by 2020 she had moved to modeling subjects in Blender, rendering them as if photographing them inside the software instead of using real photographs.In 2021 she began making spinning metallic flowers in Blender, first releasing them as a series of trinkets and objects on Hic et Nunc.In October 2022 she released Resonance & Reverie, three tokenized works on Nifty Gateway built from layered 3D structures whose looping, repetitive animations draw on hypnotic techno.She also produced Hypnotics, a black-and-white series of kaleidoscopic floral patterns, and Pellucid Petals, a collection of hand-modeled digital glass flowers released as editions on OpenSea.,
In early 2023 Nicoll began experimenting with the AI tool Stable Diffusion, first using it for an Aquaregia record cover before developing the technique into Whimsies, her first long-form project. Minted via the Highlight platform beginning in October 2024, Whimsies is a collection of 505 artworks generated with AI that fuse floral forms with emotive faces.In April 2025 Nicoll released Pacific Spirit on Art Blocks Studio, a generative artwork and physical vinyl jacket series made with the musician 747 as the cover art for his album of the same name on Aquaregia.,She followed it in May 2026 with Geophylla, a 256-piece generative series on Art Blocks Studio that continues her recurring exploration of floral forms, its code developed from a p5.js sketch through Blender and into Three.js.,
