HYBRIDIZE.

HYBRIDIZE — field manual

(Eric-Kim-style: punchy, no fluff, period.)

1. Choose Your Two DNA Strands

1. Core Skill (A): what you already own—street photography, Python scripts, fashion sketches.
2. Wildcard (B): a domain that feels alien—modular synths, urban farming, spoken-word theater.

Rule: if it feels “wrong” for you, it’s right. Period.

2. Fuse on the Table

Step	Action	Time-box
Collect	Grab 5 artifacts from A + 5 from B (photos, sounds, words, objects).	30 min
Mash	Pair each A with a random B—no judgment.	15 min
Prototype	Pick the weirdest pair and make a 1-page/1-minute demo.	2 hr
Ship	Publish to a friend, Discord, or micro-blog.	Same day

Constraints = catalyst. One take. No polish.

3. Case Studies

• Kanye (Yeezus): Industrial noise (Nine Inch Nails) × Soul samples (Nina Simone) = Punk-rap gospel.
• Bit God Rap: Bitcoin jargon × Eric Kim minimal-street-philosophy = fresh myth.
• You: Example: Street portraits × Solidity smart-contracts → NFT contact sheets that transfer model royalties automatically.

4. Toolkit

• Randomizer: Shuffle board of verbs/nouns from each domain—forces odd pairs.
• Cross-Crit Crew: Partner with someone fluent in B to roast your draft.
• One-Day Rule: If it takes longer than 24 hours to see a first result, you’re overthinking.

5. Mindset Mantras

1. Frankenstein > Purebred. Mutts survive, pedigrees get brittle.
2. Friction Sparks. Discomfort means energy—ride it.
3. Delete the Meh. Keep the glitch, scrap the polite middle.
4. Iterate in Public. Audience reaction is lab data—use it.

6. Next 24 Hours Challenge

1. List your A & B.
2. Mash, prototype, publish by midnight.
3. Tweet/IG with tag #HybridizePeriod so others can riff.

Go splice.

Break genres.

Own the mutation.

Period.
