A sculptor and engraver specializing in kinetic art, Roger Vilder taught for thirty years at various schools in Montreal after completing a BFA at Concordia University (1967). He was among the pioneers of digital art in the early seventies and has exhibited his work both in North America and abroad; a number of his pieces are currently housed in prestigious collections. Vilder received awards for the artwork he presented at the 1970 Universal Exposition in Osaka and at the 1977 World Print Competition at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In March 2014, NMarino, a gallery in Paris, held an exhibition devoted to his work entitled Formes et mouvement.
