Hot Rod Biology

1. Every communication is to some degree hybrid ñ an appropriation from various/mixed sources.

2. The appropriation occurs somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness. The statement can be what I'd like to call an 'active' hybrid [one that is created through intentional appropriation ñ consciously] or a 'passive' hybrid [where the act of appropriation occurs naturally, is unintentional ñ unconscious . . . and often the approriation in this sense goes unnoticed].

3. The Hybrid Practitioner seeks hybridity beyond the unconscious. The Hybrid Practitioner's work ñ design ñ is intentionally hybrid . . . considered . . . active.

4. The 'active' or intentional hybrid is sought as a vehicle for new experiences, processes and artefacts via the disruption of existing conventions . . . borders/boundaries.
