Digital Seals
NFTs represent the digital extension of my symbolic research. They're not collectibles, but seals, forms that capture a step in the alchemical process that permeates my work.
In this immaterial space, symbols free themselves from matter and take on an autonomous life: they mutate, expand, pass through states, become digital presences.
Alchemy of the digital image
For me, digital is an alchemical laboratory:
A place where the symbol can transform without physical constraints, undergoing cycles of metamorphosis that resonate with my analog practice. NFTs function as contemporary talismans, energetic imprints that preserve a form at a precise moment in its evolution. They are portals, not products: fragments of a constantly expanding symbolic ecosystem.

NFT REVOLUTION
Where Art Meets Technology
Helsinki XRCentre, October 23, 2024
Participation as a speaker at the event dedicated to the intersection of digital art and technological innovation.
The meeting brought together artists, curators, collectors, and Web3 professionals to explore new forms of expression related to XR, NFTs, and digital identities.
Among the interventions:
– Anna Campbell, founder of NFT Art Room and NFT curator
– AgneseGemTS, XR and Web3 artist, co-founder of RubyFever Oy
During the talk I presented my research on digital metamorphosis, NFT seals and the narrative possibilities offered by web3.
Virtual Reality Augmented Reality
My Virtual Gallery is an immersive space created to give digital form
to my symbols, my avatars and the metamorphoses that my research goes through.
It is not a simple online exhibition, but an environment constructed like a living organism: a place where the works can expand, transform, and interact without the limitations of matter. In this three-dimensional space, the visitor passes through rooms, apparitions, and presences that emerge as extensions of my imagination.
The gallery thus becomes an opening:
a territory where reality and vision overlap, and where the symbol can manifest itself in its most fluid form.
Blockchain Futurist Conference – Toronto, August 15–16, 2023. Presentation of the work OranSym as part of the NFT collection curated by Goat Art Gallery. Participation in Canada's largest Web3 event with an augmented reality installation and visual intervention dedicated to digital metamorphosis.

In 2023, I took part in MatchXR, a satellite event of Slush organized by Metropolia and the Helsinki XR Centre. Within this context, I presented a selection of digital and phigital works, including masks, seals, and augmented portraits enhanced with QR codes and interactive environments. The event offered a valuable moment of exchange between art, technology, and education, where my research engaged in dialogue with other XR artists and innovators.
Phigital Art Sculptures – Augmented Art Hybrid digital‑physical sculptures activated through AR, presented with QR codes and interactive environments. Each piece is a metamorphosis: a face, a transition, an alchemical phase.
Immersive projects and environments
With RubyFever Oy, a startup I co-founded, I developed virtual environments, avatars, and XR installations that expand my artistic research in a narrative and interactive direction. Among the main projects:
Siderall – Art for Life VR event with 80 artists from 27 countries, hosted in the virtual gallery Sid3rA77 with a physical presentation at the HXRC (Helsinki Research and Development Centre for Augmented Reality Technologies and Projects, where I was an active member for two years).
An immersive experience where art, avatars, and digital environments intertwine to create a symbolic and sensorial journey.
