Sébastien BorgetCo-founder, ArtVerse · Co-founder, The Sandbox

Sébastien Borget is the co-founder of ArtVerse, a Paris-based gallery dedicated to the interrelationship of new media, art and technology, thinking on how it is presented, experienced, and understood within contemporary culture. Co-founded with his long-time business partner Arthur Madrid, ArtVerse extends Sébastien's vision from the digital frontier into a physical space where technology and artistic practice intersect — moving beyond screens and blockchain transactions to create an environment for genuine engagement and dialogue. Through curated exhibitions, artist talks, and collaborations with leading institutions and platforms, ArtVerse's mission is to highlight creations that explore the dialogue between art, technology, and the digital realm, giving visibility to the artists shaping this conversation, established and emerging voices whose work reflects, questions and reimagines our relationship to technology.

Sébastien is also the co-founder and Ambassador of The Sandbox, a leading user-generated-content Web3 gaming platform. The Sandbox has been recognised well beyond gaming, earning a place on TIME's TIME100 Most Influential Companies list in 2022. Alongside his business partner Arthur Madrid, Sébastien is an active business angel who has supported over 300 startups across tech, gaming, lifestyle, entertainment, blockchain, fintech, Web3, hospitality, AI, and space tech.

Whether through The Sandbox's open metaverse or ArtVerse's Parisian gallery, Sébastien continues to build spaces where creators, collectors, and audiences meet at the intersection of art, technology, and community.
