The Rare Mushrooms Collection is an extension of my [Fisherian Runaway](https://hicetnunc.art/zawhatthe) project on the tezos blockchain, an open ended collection of individual generative fungi forms where a new mushroom is created each day. Owners of those mushrooms can return them to me, two at a time, and I combine their generative DNA to create a new crossbreed type that is minted here. Proceeds of sales are split directly with the owner of the original seed mushrooms on contract.

Rare Mushrooms

With an art practice that seamlessly blends the natural with the artificial, Jonathan Zawada’s striking work challenges what we understand about the world we inhabit. This intricately detailed hyper-real mushroom was created by cross-breeding of two original one of a kind generative mushrooms. The original NFTs were destroyed and this mushroom was made through the algorithmic crossbreeding of their generative DNA. Jonathan Zawada was born in Perth, Australia he has worked with a diverse list of brands and musicians as well as exhibiting works internationally including in Los Angeles, Sydney, Barcelona and Paris.


Fisherian Runaways by Jonathan Zawada, Child of #105 Quarter Dog & #63 Velvet Veteran. This mushroom is the result of the cross-breeding of two original one of a kind generative mushrooms donated back to the Fisherian Runaways project by their generous owner. The original NFTs were destroyed and this mushroom was made via an algorithmic crossbreeding of their generative DNA. A sibling variation of this crossbreed can be found on the [TEZ blockchain](https://hicetnunc.art/zawhatthe) (created by zawada.tez / tz1PmBx9EHvsN6fWJhS3zuUzPp8j7jWw4Fd8) and was gifted to the donor of the original mushrooms and proceeds from sales of this piece will be shared with the mushroom donor. These crossbreeds are the only incarnation of the Rare Mushrooms available on ETH.

“This is not the earth, where things are weighed down. This is the air, where porn physics reign. A furnace where hundreds of thousands of dollars burn to make real life feel like someone’s aesthetic blog. They must live in this hyper-real atmosphere like alien birds."

Psycho Nymph Exile by Porpentine Heartscape

Parasomnia are undesirable behaviors and experiences that occur during partial arousal from sleep. These disturbing phenomena, including night terrors and sleepwalking, occur during those undefined transitional periods when we are caught between dreams and reality. 

The artworks in this exhibition provoke a similarly disconcerting liminal state. Criss-crossing timelines and warping dimensions, the artists use the flexible parameters of digital space to develop their own eerie universes. Bending the laws of physics and the expectations of biology, they create these uncanny new worlds in exquisite detail. Their dystopian scenes resemble nowhere but remind us of everywhere. Through creating this terrifying aesthetics of anxiety, they provide a surprising and unwelcome contemporary critique. Hauntingly beautiful and intoxicating, the nightmarish visions attract our attention like moths to a flame. As with parasomnia, we are held helplessly captive to these perturbing dreams.
