About Hybrid Futures

Hybrid Futures: Rhizomes, Meshworks and Alter-Ecologies marks Elektron’s return to the public space of Esch-sur-Alzette with an exhibition that questions the porous boundaries between the living and the technological.

Rooted in con­tem­po­rary philo­soph­i­cal thought, the exhibition unfolds the concept of rhizome theorized by Deleuze and Guattari – this non-hier­ar­chi­cal and mul­ti­di­rec­tion­al underground structure, like ginger roots that spread without a defined centre. It is also enriched by the concept of meshwork developed by anthro­pol­o­gist Tim Ingold, which describes the intertwined tra­jec­to­ries that all living beings trace in their environment.

Through these theoretical prisms, Hybrid Futures transcends the artificial separation between nature and technology to reveal their fundamental inter­weav­ing and reciprocal influences. The exhibition invites the public to perceive these complex systems not as distinct entities but as inter­de­pen­dent networks in constant mutation, generating new forms of experience, knowledge, and coexistence.

Dis­sem­i­nat­ed across strategic sites in Esch-sur-Alzette and Esch-Belval, this con­stel­la­tion of works brings together visionary artists whose creations, at the confluence of art and emerging tech­nolo­gies, sketch the contours of alternative ecologies for our trans­form­ing world.
