/* Welcome, i'm Vinciane Dahéron, an artist based in Brussels and a member of Open Source Publishing since 2023. I research creation protocols, engage in endless discussions about collaborative practices and i experiment with visual tools that sometimes branch towards textile. These researches become workshops, posters, websites, books, etc.*/

As part of my ongoing collaboration with Divagation Concert collective, i prepared a collection of visuals accompanying a series of events organised @Canapé this summer. I had fun experimenting with Inkscape filters on this beautiful butterfly shape i extracted from a metal bench.

Together with Léna we designed these posters variations for the Divagation camp d'été @La Fonderie. We were inspired by seaweeds and sand pictures that we stitched together with Krita.

The iMAL I am vertical exhibition was focused on artworks shown at iMAL during the past decades, that displays differences with the smoothed-out techniques of today’s digital art. In response, we tried to work by avoiding our main devices - laptop and phones -but still craft machine-like aesthetics, using a telecran, a dymo printer, and a typewritter-like plotter that were shown during the exhibition.

We built this website for Overtoon, a platform for sound art. We used their existing CMS, processwire and rearranged the content to match the evolution of the organisation. We then devellopped a new identity based on a draft of logo drawn spontaneously by their artistic director.

Since the beginning of 2025, we are working on the new identity of l'H du Siège, an art center based in Valenciennes. We are researching plotter build tools to bring drawing constraints and layout of dimantled shapes in the process. This project is still ongoing.

Well Gedacht Publishing invited us for two-day workshop @ Offline in Berlin. In a wiki, we explored CSS stylesheets as ambiguous documents: they declare visual but are also literary pieces on their own, it is not only styling published texts but also publishing style.

We gathered at Varia in Rotterdam for two days focused on CSS inside emails. Emails are an ambiguous place for HTML/CSS; through non-linear cascading email conversation exercises, we questioned ourselves on mode of address, low-tech & high-tech dichotomy, nostalgia-induced technology, spam, newsletters and forms of forwarded declarations.

With Simon and Clara, we worked for iMAL's exhibition Einde en begin, which tries to redefine the notion of care as an ecological and relational structure. We looked into Permacomputing, and a text by Marloes de Valk called ‘Patchwork Computing’, used Cobbled Path as well as pen plotter, to draw a patchwork of shapes and fonts.

During this residency, I tried to teach children about the structure and mechanics of social media, and encourage them to develop a critical perspective on digital tools. Through game performances, reading, writing protocols, textile silk printing, sewing and discussions, we built the "Jardin d'hyperliens", an installation made from recycled materials and showing their creations.

Throughout the year, i experimented with scientific and typographic drawing on textile to create a patchwork that would become part of the scenography for Divagation's concerts and performance series.

During Hackers & Designer's summercamp, we led a workshop involving a social protocol for performing customised cascading stylesheets (CSS) of a specified website to an audience. It becomes a DJing live performance, displaying the modifications real time changing the audience-performer relationship.

We worked together with Jara Rocha on octomode to assemble texts, references, images they gathered in a publication called Ancho. The publication was following an exhibition happening three times, each iteration welcomed new content and was overprinted on the last version.

With Aline, we led a workshop for high school students at Ésac Cambrai. Each participant picked a color and laid out texts and images related to it using web to print. Then, they silk-printed compositions with modular shapes.
