I am an intermedia artist whose practice merges performance, digital technology, and ecological activism. Working across art, science, and feminist theory, I explore how human and more-than-human bodies are entangled within the planetary water cycle.
Through my performative persona WetMeWild—a hydrosexual Slavic water nymph—I create immersive and interactive environments that combine naturo-cultural objects, digital performance, and AR applications such as Nymph Tears. In its latest iteration, audiences encounter my AI-driven avatar within an underwater virtual environment — a fluid ecosystem where myth dissolves into data, and the boundaries between intimacy, ecology, ritual, and code become porous.
My Popiel Studio, founded as an outcome of my PhD at the University of the Arts in Poznań (2020), revives forgotten Slavic traditions through contemporary design. Using 3D scans of archaeological artifacts, Popiel reimagines ancestral vessels and ornaments as 3D-printed sculptures and jewellery.
Since 2021, I co-lead cyber_nymphs, a duo that initiated the hydrosexual movement in art—a practice of fluid intimacy with ecosystems and technological systems. Together we curate Blue Humanities Archive, a living collection of digital works related to water, which I have transferred into DNA as part of my ongoing research into sustainable data storage and posthuman memory.
My works have been presented internationally at Art in General (New York), FUTURA (Prague), the Museum of Modern Art (Warsaw), the National Gallery of Indonesia (Jakarta), Le Lieu Gallery (Quebec City), and Bunkier Sztuki (Kraków), among others. I am represented by lokal_30 gallery in Warsaw and currently teach at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków and SWPS University.
By weaving together speculative mythology, environmental ethics, and new media, I construct spaces that question extractivist paradigms and propose an ecology of care.
