A Landmark Collaboration: Musee D’Orsay and Agoria Pioneer in Web3 Art Integration The Musée D’Orsay in Paris has recently taken a monumental step into the future of art and technology by hosting its very first Web3 art exhibition, titled "Le Code d'Orsay." This historic event was highlighted by the collaboration with renowned Web3 artist and DJ, Agoria, showcasing the seamless integration of digital art within traditional museum settings. The exhibition not only marked a significant moment for the museum but also demonstrated the vast possibilities that Web3 art brings to conventional art spaces. "Le Code d'Orsay" Exhibition: A Fusion of Art and Technology "Le Code d'Orsay" exhibition emerged as a groundbreaking venture that captivated the art community and beyond. The show included a unique feature - a live minting experience for museum visitors, facilitated by the artwork "Sigma Lumina." This interactive piece allowed attendees to mint their creations on the Tezos blockchain, activated by human breath, highlighting an innovative blend of art, technology, and human interaction. The exhibit proved to be a resounding success, culminating in a sold-out event that emphasized the growing interest and acceptance of digital art forms in traditional art venues. The Musée D’Orsay's engagement with Web3 art through this exhibition sets a precedent for how museums can evolve and adapt to new digital art landscapes. Successful Art Sale and New NFT Releases Following the immense success of the exhibition, a notable art sale took place on the Objkt.One platform, featuring five works inspired by visitor creations from the "Sigma Lumina" exhibit. The sale amassed a total of 26,400 tez, with prominent figures such as Sebastian Borget, co-founder and COO of Pixowl (the studio behind The Sandbox), participating as collectors. Building on this momentum, Agoria, in collaboration with artist Johan Lescure, announced the release of two additional digital artworks through an auction on Objkt.One. These new pieces are linked to the ongoing "Le Code d'Orsay" exhibit, offering art enthusiasts a further opportunity to engage with and own a piece of this innovative digital art movement. A Year-Long Journey with Tezos Foundation The "Le Code d'Orsay" exhibition is part of a year-long partnership between the Musée D’Orsay and the Tezos Foundation, aimed at exploring the burgeoning universe of digital art. This collaboration underscores the museum's commitment to embracing new forms of artistic expression and its role in shaping the future of art in the digital age. As the exhibition draws to a close, it leaves behind a legacy of innovation, collaboration, and a glimpse into the potential future of art and technology intertwining. The Musée D’Orsay's foray into Web3 art with "Le Code d'Orsay" has paved the way for future endeavors in the digital art space, proving that traditional art institutions can play a significant role in the digital and Web3 art landscapes.
