We propose to explore the history of literature and artistic currents from 1980 to the present day to show the hybridity of contemporary works of art that are part of trends that are difficult to categorize. For example, we will focus on experimental, digital, sound and visual works, taking into account the notion of performance and plasticity and the contribution of technological resources. Authors such as Eduardo Kac (Cyberpoetry, Biopoetry), John Cage (performance art), Robert Smithson (land art), and currents such as cyber art, urban art, holopoetry, biopoetry, street art and environmental art will be studied.
