Hybrid Dance
Spring / Summer 2013
The hybridization of dance and visual arts has played a significant role in the emergence of today's new artistic practices. Hybrid Dance theme gives centre stage to works emerging from collaborations between artists, choreographers, and dancers that have given rise to new objects, expressive forms, and practices. This issue confirm the long-standing interest of esse in practices whose scope lies beyond that of the visual arts.

Current Issue
Immersion
Winter 2026
This issue is interested in all forms of immersion in contemporary art. How are artists critically engaging with immersive technologies? Conversely, what kinds of practices are challenging technology in their pursuit of immersion? How are these experiences breaking down the boundaries between spectator, body, and art? We put forward proposals that rely on listening and sustained attention rather than on amplification and sensory overload – works using devices that are sometimes relatively simple and non-invasive, sometimes a little more elaborate, but in which participation is, with a few nuances, neither passive nor devoid of critical thinking.
