What is Next Nature?

With our attempts to cultivate nature, humankind causes the rising of a next nature, which is wild and unpredictable as ever. Wild systems, genetic surprises, autonomous machinery and splendidly beautiful black flowers. Nature changes along with us.

The flower depicted in the image is a good example of Hypernature. While fake nature is always a flatter surrogate of old nature, hypernature is a simulation of an old nature that never really existed. Better than the real thing. Hypernature = authentic fake nature.

    This is (old) nature looking stuff done with computer graphics, but what makes it next nature?

  2. Sure it is a fantasy film about the merging of the ‘born’ and the ‘made’. Nature becomes culture AND culture becomes nature. It is not often that you see those two events visualised in one piece. That is what I like very much about this video.

    Of course I don’t expect that something like this will litteraly evolve in Next Nature, but I like the fantasy of it. The flower depicted in the image is a good example of Hypernature. While fake nature is always a flatter surrogate of old nature, hypernature is a simulation of an old nature that never really existed. Better than the real thing. Hypernature = authentic fake nature.
