Dorian Dégagé is a multidisciplinary artist, ecological-infrastructure builder, and founder of Noon Systems Corporation, a Texas public-benefit corporation. Raised in Mexico and first-generation American, he came up far from privilege — and traces his sensibility to the markets he walked to as a boy, where he first watched the natural order of how resources move through a community.

He began in sound: avant-garde music, recordings made in Grammy-winning studios, record deals, and nights built around the local scene. That was a first language; the ecological work is where the same impulse found its lasting form. Today, through Noon, he designs and builds water-conscious landscapes, watershed catchments, native ground, and the operator software that runs them — alongside The Noon Source, an open research library on water, soil, and culture.

His work, in English and Spanish, treats land, water, and culture as one system: infrastructure built to give something back, and to last. He is based in San Antonio, Texas.
