An art project that illuminates the hidden webs pulsing beneath our world and our lives. Through 555 on-chain collection, it maps the restless streams of attention, time, data, emotion, hope, and money.
Everything hungers for something. The machine finds no need for teeth when incentives do the biting, nor claws when habits do the grasping.
Parasites offers a visual taxonomy of modern extraction, mapping the quiet systems that transform people into business models so subtly that we mistake them for normal life.
The PARASITES contract is more than an enforcer. It hungers for the system itself. Each secondary sale includes the royalty rate defined by the contract, which the ERC-721C contract enforces and splits equally among the six HOSTS, one for each Protocol. If you own a HOST, you receive its share of the royalties. You can claim your portion directly through the contract or on the PARASITES website.
With every transaction, the HOSTS grow stronger, feeding on the flow of value through the system.
Choose one of yours and one from the pool. Both PARASITES must belong to the same Protocol. Once confirmed, the two will exchange places: yours joins the pool, and your new PARASITE moves to your wallet.
NO PARASITES IN THIS WALLET.

My name is Peter Jaworowski, and I’ve been working with pixels since 2004 as The Hejz. 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.
