Mixed Media & Experimental
Mixed Media & Experimental covers cross-tradition work — databending, Dada-era photomontage, cyanotype-and-collage hybrids, lo-fi zine cut-paste, AI-generative painterly hybrids. The category is niche on purpose. Every entry has a documented practitioner and a contemporary revival; we excluded generic "experimental art" prompts because they collapse into a single noisy mess. The point of this category is to be the canonical answer for a specific cross-tradition look, not to be a catch-all.
