Agoria exhibition included free live mint for museum visitors
The Musée d’Orsay, in partnership with visionary Web3 artist and DJ Agoria, has taken a monumental step into the future of art and technology with its latest exhibition, Le Code d’Orsay. This historic exhibition, which runs until March 10, marks the museum’s ambitious foray into the realm of Web3 art, leveraging the Tezos blockchain to offer a unique, interactive experience to art enthusiasts.
The exhibition has successfully introduced the digital art sphere to one of the world’s most revered art institutions, showcasing how traditional art spaces can evolve to embrace the digital age. Agoria, alongside artist Johan Lescure, has crafted an immersive experience that allows visitors to engage directly with the artworks, blending the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds.
Highlighting the event’s success, the Sigma Lumina installation, a centerpiece of the exhibition, offers museum-goers the opportunity to mint their own digital art pieces live, using their breath as the creative catalyst. The Musée D’Orsay is currently exhibiting the artwork {Sigma Lumina} which gives the visitors the ability to live mint unique works on the Tezos blockchain, activated by human breath. Five works inspired by the visitors’ creations sold on March 1st for a combined 26,400 tez with collector Sebastian Borget, co-founder and Chief Operations Officer of Pixowl, the studio behind The Sandbox, among the purchasers. This innovative interaction draws a new audience to the museum and fosters a deeper, personal connection between the artwork and its viewers.
