As our society is more and more dominated by images, expecially after the booming of the World Wide Web, a new class of intellectuals is emerging, expecially among digital natives.
According to Peter Lunenfeld, we are about to witness the wide-scale emergence of visual intellectuals, i.e. people simultaneously making, pondering and commenting on visual culture, but in a way that doesn’t perforce adhere to the primacy of the word.
Visual intellectuals will be the future ruling class of the cultural discourse.
