Hybrid Symposium I – Drivers and Patterns of Hybridity
Neil Gershenfeld (US)

What brings hybridization about? Hybrid creations and creatures emerge from recombinations. The smaller, the more flexible the unit, the greater the number of recombinations. Hence the principal drivers of hybridity are the gene, the atom and the bit. Language itself is a product and a generator of hybridization. Like migration and crossbreeding, languages drive hybridization because they bring together common features from otherwise unrelated entities. As more and more objects are made available in digital form, invention rises evermore from sampling and mixing, leading to a generalized digital/material bricolage.
