An essay by

Welcome Hybrarian by Rogier Klomp explores with a mix of graffiti, cartoons and mapping what it means to be hybrid. You’re invited to wander through the map and find your way. 

The map views hybrid as a temporary state where two things come together and it isn’t yet defined what the mix will do. It’s a state of possibilities. Whether it’s a brew of two species or the merging of digital and physical or a cocktail of Artificial and Collective Intelligence, a new thing is in the making. We’re still in the not-knowing, yet we are right in the middle of it. We live in hybrid bodies and move through hybrid spaces. We are Hybrarians at work thinking hybridly together. And we can only wonder about the hybrid species we are becoming. With your help this map will evolve further in the coming months.
