HYBRID ECOLOGIES CREATIVE LAB
HYbrid Ecologies
We are HY — a transdisciplinary design research lab exploring new forms of life and lifestyles to foster both human and ecological well-being.
About Us
We live in an era of unprecedented technological acceleration, reshaping our ways of being and living. HY envisions how design can foster human and ecological well-being. Working at the intersections of the physical, digital, and biological, we are dedicated to designing experiences that illustrate a flourishing world.
Our mission is to reimagine modes of existence and our relationship with the environment in a time marked by the convergence of technological singularity and ecological crisis. This is why we position ourselves within hybrid ecologies—blending humanity, diverse life forms, and artificial intelligence—to develop a holistic eco-cultural-techno perspective.
Our work as an observatory of eco-cultural-techno futures allows us to anticipate emerging signals of change and creative solutions. We specialize in digital product prototyping within AI and immersive installations to deliver visionary, speculative scenarios of these futures.
Located within a leading technological university, we collaborate with multidisciplinary researchers and specialize in emerging fields such as Bio-digital Sensory Design, Artificial Intelligence, Healthcare, Future Studies, Neuroaesthetics, and Posthumanism.
