A constitution as a set of fundamental principles or established precedents according to which common organization is governed. These rules together make up, i.e. constitute, what the entity is. When these principles are written down into a single document or set of legal documents, those documents may be said to comprise a written constitution.
The Hybrid Constitution defines the principles upon which a HYBRID CONSTITUTION is based, the procedure in which laws are made and by whom. The HYBRID CONSTITUTION also acts to limit power by establishing lines rulers cannot cross, as fundamental holistic rights. This is an artistic task, because NATURE AND TECHNOLOGY cannot inscribe their Magisteria as beings and rights inside a “Constitution”, but a beginning for a new utopic non human-centered vision. The Hybrid Contitution in THE ISTANBUL CONSTITUTION of 2011 will aim at becoming the artistic beginning of a new utopian (or dystopian?) vision. From the Code of Hammurabi to Japan's Seventeen-Article Constitution written in 604, influenced by Buddhist teachings, and the Constitution of Medina (622), the صحیفة المدینه, Ṣaḥīfat al-Madīna, also known as the Charter of Medina, and to the Constitution of the Gayanashagowa, or 'oral' constitution of the Iroquois nation (1090-1150). The Magna Charta in 1215, the United States Constitution, ratified on June 21, 1788, the Charter of Quarnaro, 1920, - the symbols reproduce those of the Italian Regency of Quarnaro (1919-1920) and the Constitution of 1982.
The Hybrid Constitution is based on the assumption that best constitution is a mixed system, including human, nature, and low and high tech elements. This constitution distinguish between humans citizens, who had the right to participate in the state, and non-citizens and Others, who had right to be represented.
[This is] a participative artwork in liberty and dignity, on the rights of the common world of all beings and non-beings; the HYBRID CONSTITUTION will produce the FIRST PRINCIPLES (8 →) The first Nine articles of the HYBRID CONSTITUTION are the so-called basic principles.
