I’m based in Warsaw, and for years, I focused on making beautiful things: clean, polished, and crafted with care. This was the kind of work that wins awards, helps sell products, and looks great in presentations. But after twenty years of chasing perfection, something changed. I got tired of making things just to look pretty, smooth, or pleasing. Now, I’m drawn to the noise, the glitches, the distortion, and the raw edges that make you stop and wonder what you’re looking at. Ugly feels honest, and broken feels real. That’s where I am now, somewhere between street sounds and screen light, where beauty gets messy, and meaning comes at you from the side.

Contract 0x5899233C1b28EB10525E34Ff6B3D4574ce47A96d (Ethereum, ERC-721C). Marketplace: https://opensea.io/collection/theparasites. Website: https://parasit.es. PARASITES is a fully on-chain art project exploring the hidden forces that feed on attention, time, data, emotion, hope, and money. 555 unique Parasites. Six Protocols. A visual bestiary of modern extraction. Every 365 days, a VESSEL becomes HUNGRY, revealing its other side. To restore its FED appearance, it needs to be fed. Like the systems they represent, PARASITES feed on your attention. Feeding happens through the PARASITES website, either from the VESSEL’s full-view profile in the gallery or directly through the contract. HOSTS follow a different rule. They become HUNGRY whenever their accumulated royalties are depleted, and return to their FED state once there is something to feed on again. 555 works, each at https://hejz.art/works/parasites-001…https://hejz.art/works/parasites-555; every one with its traits in [llms-full.txt](https://hejz.art/llms-full.txt). ### CHAPTER III: [self]FULL_CIRCLE https://hejz.art/chapters/self-full-circle — 5 works · 2 states each.
