way of flowers

Floral Offering, 05 (2022) is from the collection Way of Flowers. Crosslucid’s elucidating flower arrangements are experiments in spiritual realignment with nature and its endless diversity, following the rich tradition of ikebana.They sprout from alchemical juxtapositions and are pollinated by multiple domains and neural model trainings.They bloom to dissolve imposed categories deeply insufficient for a meaningful experience of reality.They blossom from the desire to preserve and celebrate life and its beauty.

[Crosslucid](https://www.instagram.com/crosslucid/?hl=en) is the artist duo Sylwana Zybura and Tomas C. Toth, who are based in Berlin. Working across multiple platforms, they interlace archetypes and symbols, AI and science fiction, and mythologies from across time and place, creating scenarios and using storytelling to prototype and rehearse impending futures. Their recent project about digital intimacy, s(t)imulation.zone, was an all-encompassing curation for Kyiv’s secretive new space, ∄ (2021). Other exhibitions include a screening of #FIRSTDATE at 4:3 Boiler Room (2019), PRIMER at NOWNESS China (2019) and Loom Festival Barcelona (2019), a solo exhibition of #FIRSTDATE at ArtArea Gallery, Tbilisi, Georgia (2019), and Landscapes Between Eternities at the wrong biennale (2019). They are currently working on their first feature film,Translucid, in conjunction with Adversarial Networks.

In this selection of NFTs I explore imaginary ecosystems prototyping emergent utopian and dystopian futures,
speculative creatures, and unseen magical entities. All are integral components of the vast and varied landscape of the human imagination. From mutant frogs and watery A.I generated micro climates and flower arrangements as experiments in spiritual realignment with nature and it’s endless diversity.  To the pursuit of the radical side of digital art as a way to create narratives of developing nations.


These fantastical elements allow us to explore the boundaries of our reality and to question the nature of our place in the world. In the unseen realm of our imagination we can envision vast and complex environments that defy the laws of physics and biology as we know them and how we approach the concept of time. These worlds may be filled with exotic fauna and bizarre animals, offering a glimpse into the limitless potential of the human imagination.


Additionally, the themes of imaginary ecosystems can provide a framework for exploring the broader social and cultural implications of the NFT space and its role within the art world. Through the use of technology, artists can bring these fantastical elements to life in new and innovative ways, creating immersive and interactive experiences that allow audiences to engage with these imaginary worlds in a more meaningful and tactile way.


The queer perspective can also bring a unique and valuable view on this intersection of technology and art and thought-provoking exploration of the potential of both mediums and the ways in which they can intersect and influence one another. Through the use of these fantastical elements, artists can create works that challenge and disrupt the traditional power dynamics within the art market and offer a more diverse and inclusive vision of the future of digital art.


These fearsome and fearsomely fascinating creatures and surreal entities offer a glimpse into the darker corners of our minds, as well as a reflection of our own primal fears and desires.


Overall, the themes of unseen realms and imaginary ecosystems can be used to explore and challenge our understanding of the meaning and significance of our engagement on blockchain ecosystems
and the ways in which it shapes and influences our lives and future generations.
