Σ Lumina: Le Code d’Orsay

Valenium Internal — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 15:53:21 +0000

Sculpture, steel, digital artwork, generative biological art, 2023

By Agoria, digital artist, DJ, composer and music producer and Johan Lescure, artist.

In 2024, from February 13 to March 10, Agoria was invited to a special exhibition around Bioregenerative AI at the Musée d’Orsay. Titled { Le Code d’Orsay }, this special production, inspired by the museum’s collection and the artist’s creative practice of using algorithms, AI and data from the living world. A combination that culminated in the presentation of two pieces, one of which, Σ Lumina, was created with the support of Valenium.

Σ Lumina merges the digital and physical, and invites the visitors to immerse themselves in a participative experience that culminates in the minting of a unique digital piece through the Tezos blockchain.

Agoria and Johan Lescure produced a sculpture that allows participants to scan a QR code, hidden within its shadow. A key that opens the door to a one-of-a-kind experience: a breath on the microphone of their smartphone activates a digital piece. Unique. A memento of the moment, frozen in time by live minting.

AGORIA

Electronic music producer, composer and French DJ, Agoria is one of those who transcended borders early on. Physical, cultural, artistic frontiers.

His parties, called “agoria” first inspired his alias. In 1999, he produced and published his own titles, rapidly acquiring global recognition.

Since then, he has published seven albums, a movie soundtrack, and several singles and EPs. But the artist and musician also has other areas of interest and fascination. Generative and biological art in particular.

Agoria, prolific creative, combines the blended reality of the metaverse with art, music and science.

Like so, he regularly collaborates with biologists, neuroscientists and philosophers: in 2018, with Philippe Parreno on art exhibitions and performances at the Armory Park in New York City, and in the Tate Modern in London, and launching his own exhibit at Miami Art Basel a year later.

In 2022, Agoria’s art was exposed in the entire world through major events dedicated to NFTs. In New York’s Times Square during the NFT.NYC, in Barcelona at the Sonar, in London during the Proof of People exhibition, or at the time of the Berlin Art Week.
