HYBRID FUTURES

HYBRID FUTURES marks the first solo exhibition in Australia by Australian-Danish artists Rhoda Ting & Mikkel Bojesen, offering an early survey of their collaborative practice. Working across sculpture, film, photography, and living installations, the exhibition asks where nature ends and technology begins.

They propose that this boundary has never been as clear as we imagined. Hybridity, the mixing and merging of things we once thought separate, is not something arriving in the future; it is already the condition of the world we live in.

The works move across scales, both vast and microscopic. Soft robots breathe among volcanic rock, and symbiotic cultures inhabit natural areas shaped by industry. Fungi and microbes grow inside glass sculptures and Petri dishes, forming structures that suggest intelligence beyond human understanding. Industrial materials meet foraged plants and ocean environments, producing forms that are allowed to happen rather than designed. Glass towers hold 12,000-year-old Arctic seabed sediment, connecting us to deep geological time. A sculpture generated through artificial intelligence combines DNA data from multiple species into imagined organisms that feel strangely plausible.

Together, the works invite visitors to reconsider who they share the world with and how they might inhabit it with greater curiosity, responsibility, and care.
