Abstract:The study titled Hybrid Approaches in Modern Art; in the media we are living in, the emerging various changes from science and technology to the economic and social fields influence today's artist and offers him new expression possibilities and meanwhile push him out of the modernist art. Modern art which feeds on Kantian aesthetic was prone to purism. At the time present, it is obviously seen that art cannot remain pure (clean, absolute). Methods and values such as figure, representation, subject expression, narration and illustration that modernism has dismissed are once more on the front burner today. The use of non-art object, concepts and methods such as clip art, montage and assembly that had began with cubism and demonstrated itself in different artistic tendencies in art is increasingly continuing. Inclusion of non-art object, concepts and methods in art by igniting the wick of hybrid compositions and by becoming a process where technologic, scientific, social and political changes were experienced had brought along differences of lifestyles and thinking of the society as well. A spate of trends following each other in which artistic frames and our judgments changed, had deviated from being an object in which art is produced and observed in the end of the movement have turned into thinking fact and information object as an artistic one. As digital technology was also included in these expression methods today, working area has become wider. Hybrid compositions which emerged by the combination of new inclinations, different technique, material and disciplines in today's art has opened new disciplines by scientific and technological items being increased within cultural and social background plan. Flowing of these developments directly in life and changing artists' positions relationship with representation and the emergence of work of hybrid art providing possibility for transition to inter-discipline, communication and being in tune with the times which had let us view hybrid reflections to our life directly by the progressing technology and indirectly to the modern art with the possibilities offered by technology.
