Sebastian Rivas, Silver Lion at the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Venice Artists have also contributed to the international influence of Université Côte d’Azur. Sebastian Rivas, a doctoral student in music composition co-directed by François Paris, director of CIRM and Jean-François Trubert, professor of musicology at the UNS, won the Silver Lion at the Biennale of Contemporary Art in Venice. This prestigious award rewards a promising and original young artist. His research and creative project is fundamentally transdisciplinary: he seeks to respond to the challenges now faced by contemporary composers to extend the domain of composable sound to space, body, dramaturgy, and digital programming.
