Hybrid Futures, like all sci-art, is a hybrid proposition, a cross-pollination of aesthetics and information, the visual and the intellectual. The works of 5 international artists working in film, virtual reality, and illustration will take this concept further, exploring cutting-edge zones of sci-art catalysis to better assess the present and future state of the human and natural worlds.
