METAMORPHOSIS OF SPICULORAE
Spiculorae is a transitional marine organism I designed within the Transmutæ clade, characterized by a radially symmetric exoform composed of calcified spine-petals and semi-permeable dermal membranes. Typically found in abyssal biotopes, this species exhibits dual behavior as both sessile bloom and motile entity during its metamorphic surge. The spicular extensions function in both defensive osmoregulation and passive nutrient absorption. Notably, Spiculorae expresses fluctuating pigmentation and structural polymorphism in response to thermal gradients and pressure flux, mimicking both predator and pollinator forms in the deep biosphere.

Giusy Amoroso is an Italian visual artist based in Berlin, working across digital and physical sculpture, moving image, XR, and immersive media. Her practice focuses on how life adapts within synthetic environments.She creates what she defines as “Hybrid Anatomies” — speculative organisms where organic and artificial systems merge into posthuman forms, treating digital noise, synthetic materials, and industrial textures as functional tools for survival.Alongside her artistic practice, she has collaborated on and directed visual projects across electronic music, fashion, and gaming with partners including Nike, Afterlife, Anyma, Riot Games, Harper’s Bazaar, Sony Music, and Cartoon Network.She is a recipient of the Digital Vanguard Award at Videocittà (2022) and has delivered two talks for TEDx on digital culture and aesthetics.
