The Changing Nature of Information

Just on the way back from the Icograda conference in Cuba - we’ll post a PDF and paper of our presentation soon. There were several questions from the audience about the changing nature of culture and “how can we define it/fit it into our curricula?”. This seems to me to be the wrong way of thinking about things.

You don’t define culture, culture defines itself these days and education, which has previousy been all about defining people and culture (are you from Harvard or MIT? Are you a Designer or a Lawyer..) needs to work out how to adapt.

If you ever saw the great video called The Machine Is Us from the folks at Mediated Cultures, have a look at this new one about information. Try substituting the word culture or education for information:
