Next Nature is culturally emerged nature

Related to a concept in postmodern philosophy, stating that our common notions of nature and culture are trading places. Nature, in the sense of trees, plants, animals, atoms, or climate, is getting increasingly controlled and governed by man. It has turned into a cultural category. At the same time, products of culture, which we used to be in control of man, tend to outgrow us and become autonomous.

The term Next Nature was coined by the Dutch artist/scientist Koert van Mensvoort in his paper *Exploring Next Nature]. It is influenced by hyperreality and Phenomenology (this article needs editing)
