Sébastien Devaud, known as Agoria, is a French multidisciplinary artist known for his electronic music production and biological generative art.
Agoria has released 5 albums with both major Universal Music, Virgin and indie labels Pias. He was an early contributor to the French electronic music scene with the creation of his own label, Sapiens, and Lyon electronic music festival Les Nuits Sonores. It was during his time as a DJ that he became known as Agoria, after ‘Agora’, meaning ‘meeting place’ in ancient Greek.
In the arts world, Agoria has collaborated with Philippe Parreno on art exhibitions and performances at the Armory Park in NYC and Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall in London, and he started his own solo show in Miami Art Basel. His project {Compend-AI}, a visual extension of neuroscience, was nominated for exhibition in Times Square in 2022.
Agoria combines art, music and science in his work, collaborating with biologists, neuroscientists, and philosophers to name a few.
He sees NFTs as an opportunity to present scientific publications outside of the scientific community.
