Bio

Vincent Charlebois, who works under the name vncnt, is a Montréal-based artist whose practice assembles technological, social, and ecological systems. They have described themselves as “an artist working with networks and nature”. They have spent about a dozen seasons tree planting in Canada, planting over a million trees, an experience that continues to shape their work.^,

Between 2009 and 2019, Charlebois ran dailywiki, a Tumblr where they posted links to Wikipedia pages as “a directory of places, ideas and artworks”.

Their series Fabricating Future Forests generates AI landscapes from their own photographic archive of clear-cut forests in Canada, made during their tree-planting years. In La Couleur de Montréal, they document environmental conditions in the city through its traffic cameras. Horloge is an onchain series of animated SVG clocks coded in Solidity on Optimism. Each piece's colors are set by the block number at its mint and by the block number of the previous mint, so every clock shares a color with its neighbor. Each new token also increased the image's rows and columns, adding computational demand until the collection failed to render its final token at Horloge #36 and the open edition ended.
