Agoria (musician)

Agoria (born January 16, 1976, in Lyon, France) is the stage name of Sébastien Devaud, a French multidisciplinary artist whose work connects the organic with the digital.

Known for his innovative approach to electronic music, Agoria blends techno, house, and experimental sounds to create rich, atmospheric compositions. He releases his debut album, Blossom, in 2003 and has since produced critically acclaimed albums such as The Green Armchair (2006), Impermanence (2011), Drift (2019), .dev (2011) and Unshadow (2024). Agoria is the founder of Sapiens Records label and he is a noted film composer, with many soundtracks for films like Go Fast and Lucky.

In recent years, Agoria has expanded his creative endeavors into the realm of art, focusing on biological generative art—a practice that integrates algorithms, artificial intelligence, and data from the living world to create dynamic, evolving works. His installation {Sigma Lumina}, presented at the Musée d’Orsay in February 2024, reinterpretes classical masterpieces through this innovative approach, establishing a contemporary dialogue with historical art. This exhibition marks a significant milestone, making Agoria the first digital artist in history to showcase work in a top-tier global museum. His contributions have solidified his position as a leading figure in the evolving art landscape, where he continues to explore the intersection of art, technology, and the natural world.
