    Abstract
    For several decades now, and particularly in the digital era, we have observed instances of various artistic disciplines attempting to transcend the limitations that previously defined them. In this context, we encounter a series of proposals that can only be understood through formal hybridisation, that is to say, that no longer fit into the category of deviations from a particular discipline (such as visual poetry, conceptual art, etc.). Instead, they have become constituted as such. This presents a theoretical and institutional challenge in terms of embracing and understanding the limits, scope and drifts of artistic disciplines. In this sense, we propose not only the formal and linguistic revision of the arts, but also the modes of production and the role of the creative person, the conservation of projects and works, or the modification of perception and the deployment of the imagination based on critical ways of thinking about the visual.

    Keywords: hybrid arts, intermediality, digital culture, intermateriality, multimediality
