Hybris: Hybrids and Monsters in Contemporary Art

This catalogue was published on the occasion of the group exhibition. The project in the exhibition halls of the library at Ca’ Foscari University, organized by MediaArtLab CYLAND, was showcase works of 19 artists from Italy, Russia, Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium and the US. The project’s theme contemplated one of the mechanisms underlying the functioning of culture — the connection of the unconnectable, the problem of the relations between “one’s own” and “someone else’s”, the blurring of the borders between well-established concepts. At the exhibition, the neighbouring ofnew technologies and old media was created a space where “personal territories” of artworks are not divided — they are germinating into each other, producing new “hybrid fruits” of the perception of art.
