HYBRIDS
From medieval mythologies we are familiar with hybrid creatures like the Centaur and the Griffon. The creation of these fantasy beings denies in itself the very existence of species as we define the term today. The tendency to try to abolish the species and our body´s limitations seems to be a recurring theme with mankind. This years conference highlights amongst others how knowledge from new research and insight radically can happen to change human biology and self understanding, and how art practice both becomes influenced by this development, as well as being able to influence the same.
