“This volume amounts to the most comprehensive theoretical and empirical exploration of hybridity in the arts ever mounted. The overall effect is to clearly demonstrate that hybridity paves a third way of aesthetic being that transcends such binaries as virtual/augmented reality and public/private spaces. In this context, traditionally marginalized artists come to the fore as the pace setters for the future of aesthetic production and reception.”
—Steve Fuller, Professor of Social Epistemology, University of Warwick, UK
“The richness of the concepts and illustrative examples proposed by the authors makes this publication particularly inspiring for readers who view mixed reality as a domain in which genuinely new and vital qualities may emerge.”
—Paweł Fortuna, PhD, Psychologist and cultural researcher, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (KUL), Poland
