Roger D. Wilson is an experimental film scientist who lives in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

He creates his films using techniques such as pixilation, time-lapse photography, hand processing and cameraless animation.

He has buried black and white film in soil, bathed it in baking soda, berg colour toner, household bleach and photographic bleach all before photographing images. Roger has also begun to create his own film emulsion recipes and film developers, he has processed black and white film in Welch’s Grape Juice, Tea made from Timothy Hay, Argon oil, Red Clovers and algae infested river water. Roger co-founded the Windows Collective (2008), a group devoted to the creation and exhibition of experimental works using film as basis.<A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.rogerdwilson.ca/" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer"> www.rogerdwilson.ca</A>
