David Lavaysse is a multidisciplinary artist, born in Montpellier, France, in 1976. He initially focused on music, and over the years, visual arts and plastic arts have become increasingly significant in his creative practice.
He began his journey under the name "Dave's infusion", which later evolved into "i&fused"and now predominantly signs under his own name.
In the mid-2000s he co-founded 'The Shoppings' to explore the intersections of music and fashion.
In 2011, he established '1fuse', a creative studio integrating sound and visual design.
Alongside his other endeavors, a new cryptic dub initiative named "Joji Gwisin" comes to life in 2024.
Wildly prolific, his work is defined by its diversity. Spanning styles, media, and formats.
He collaborates with a wide range of artists across various fields, including Shutaro Oku, Pascal Monfort, Young-Ho Nam, Hyun-Sun Kim, Jean-charles de Castelbajac, Jeremy Scott, Annie Abrahams, Vincent Bonnal, Jacques Allaire, Young-Wook Beck, and brands such as Carhartt, Off-White, Edoki, Québec Science, and Dim.
He performs worldwide, both solo and alongside other artists.
His performances take place in art centers, theaters, opera houses, as well as at music, dance, and improvisation festivals.
Since 2014, he has been teaching graphic engineering at the University Paul Valéry in Montpellier, adopting a holistic approach that integrates technical, creative, and conceptual aspects.
Dividing his time between Montpellier, France, and Seoul, South Korea, Lavaysse continues to create and collaborate across different artistic disciplines with a relentless desire to push the boundaries of artistic creation.
