- By drawing on Lev Manovich's argument about the database as a cultural form, I argue in this paper that knowledge organization consequently may be considered a cultural form. I use Manovich's argument to locate an understanding of knowledge organization activity in light of new media. Knowledge organization is not an appendage but rather a prime communication and production form of new media, turning knowledge organization into knowledge design. This implies moreover that knowledge organization is not only an activity ensuring storage and retrieval but is also media design as well. The theoretical consequence of this is to engage in 'info-aesthetics'.
