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.

Simulacra for Dummies

Anyone can explain Baudrillard with this move. After the recent passing-away of this philosopher, it seems appropriate to post this movie as an ultimate “Simulacra for Dummies”. This movie is quite known and probably already posted on this blog. But just in case, here it is once more: the “Evolution” movie made by Dove. The construction of reality.

    It sure is a good way to remember the passing away of Jean Beaudrillard, who’s concept of hyperreality has been quite an influence on the nextnature discourse. Indeed a famous movie, but it hasn’t been posted on the blog before.

    Also in this beauty hyperreality context people should check out the Dutch ‘beperkt houdbaar’ VPRO documentairy and site by Sunny Bergman and Debbie Mollenhagen.

    I Love It … not only does it support and cherish Baudrillard’s theories on Hyperreality , but it also says exactly what I have been writing about for the past month.

    I already knew this video… It was a good dove campaign to remind us the illusion where we live in.
    I am doing a dissertation this year about the Hiperrealoty in Digital Art.
    If anyone knows books, articles, websites, etc, that could help in this matter I would be appreciated.

    Thanks, and nice post.
