ABSTRACT

This chapter addresses the assumptions by the media and cultural theorists. It considers a new idea of school which could be the school of the next society. The next society produces a next economy, a next politics, a next science, a next humanity, a next university, a next museum, a next school, a next architecture, and a next art. If the computer is the dominant medium of the next society, the significance of the figure of the hacker is evident. The artist of the next society is someone who is able to crack a code, whether that code is technological, social, psychological, or cultural. The next society prefers the new means of communication for disseminating information in space, which comes with ignoring the means of disseminating information in time. The excess of control associated with the introduction of the computer not only provokes a next society, but also a next nature, from which the next society distinguishes its own culture.
