Amalgam Series
The vital hybrid of sensual, biomorphic shapes, a curious blend of synthetic and organic matter, merges virtual and physical notions. Inspired by deconstructed natural processes and speculative life-forms, born from the fusion of technology, rare minerals, and flesh. Amalgam is a selection of ‘hand-sculpted virtual forms, immaterial-material objects of desire, designed and sculpted in VR. Artists are using virtual reality sculpting tools to reappropriate their experience with physical sculpture. Virtual Reality Sculpting allows them to integrate their traditional fine art approach and translate physically charged expression into the immersive gesture that forms the digital object. Every Amalgam NFT includes a 3D model of the sculpture, still image, and an augmented reality experience.
XEN is an avatar living in the Athenaeum.blue universe,
Athenaeum.blue is an interactive film and immersive gaming odyssey, directed and developed by Pussykrew, written in collaboration with AI. The first chapter ‘Serpent of Self’ premiered online in spring 2021, it features a number of digital deities, channeling AI-generated essays. Each chapter explores themes of hybrid bodies, materiality, past & the future memories, chimerical architecture, non-binary dreams, primal forces of nature and ritual – as a form of healing and reclaiming the energy. Pussykrew creates new womxn-centered mythologies driven by cross-cultural folklore and speculative fiction. They are trying to find new ways of seeing human/non-human experiences and open up new possibilities for alternative narratives.
The Athenaeum.blue piece is a form of a multilayered gaming experience, with cinematic elements of interactive film, artists are using a blend of real-time game engine and AI-generated poetry. Participants are able to traverse through virtual environments and choose their own path, to navigate the story.

The Bliss of Metamorphing Collapse
Pussykrew are trying to re-imagine the future post-human landscape, new living beings, and their ecosystem. This multidimensional work is designed to explore speculative entities that exist within a networked consciousness, beyond synthetic/organic conditions – these fluid entities transcend traditional hierarchical, binary systems.
The artists are summoning the audience into the hybrid post-climate change universe, where newly evolved organisms became the augmented hybrids of a body, technology, nature, and the sentient sense of the past. The significant historical, architectural spaces are now transformed and occupied by amalgamation of life-forms, who thrive in-between water, concrete and distorted artifacts from the past. The soundscape is composed of melting glaciers and field recordings of the rain and bodies of water.
Pussykrew are using real-time animation and VR sculpting to create new supernatural sceneries. The Bliss of Metamorphing Collapse is a continuation of Pussykrew’s work with multisensory environments and immersive stories.
