A Study of Hybrid Art Practices Among the Artworks of Selected Malaysian Artists

Abstract

The revolution in art practices has led Malaysian artists to discover greater possibilities in art, especially in terms
of media exploration. In this paper, the researchers conducted a study of hybrid art practices among the artworks
of selected Malaysian artists. The research objective of this paper is to identify and trace, among the selected
artworks, hybrid art practices as a way of creating hybrid artworks. The researchers applied direct observation
and extracted the artists’ statements for documentation. The results show that most of the artworks applied
modern technology and have an element of interaction with the audience. In addition, media exploration has
expanded to technological and scientific knowledge. In conclusion, the diversity of media and the discipline have
enabled artists to explore more media when producing creative artworks. These collaborations have expanded to
produce new findings and allow new perspectives on disciplines in art.
