In the world of contemporary art and stage design, few names resonate as profoundly as Es Devlin. Known for her groundbreaking work that spans stage, sculpture, and public installations, Devlin has redefined audience engagement through her innovative and immersive designs.

Devlin’s artistic ethos revolves around the concept of viewing the audience as a “temporary society,” where each installation or performance is an opportunity for collective experience and cognitive transformation. Her work is not merely to be viewed but to be experienced, inviting interaction and contemplation on themes of biodiversity, linguistic diversity, and the impact of technology through AI-generated poetry.

From kinetic stage designs for esteemed institutions like the National Theatre and the Metropolitan Opera to creating large-scale public sculptures and installations at landmarks such as Tate Modern and the United Nations headquarters, Devlin’s canvas is as broad as it is impactful. Her versatility is also evident in her significant contributions to major global events, including Olympic ceremonies and NFL Super Bowl halftime shows, where her designs create narratives that are both personal and universal.
