Rhizomatic Structures

“There is no difference between what a book talks about and how it is made.” Deleuze & Guattari


characteristics:

1-2 connection and heterogeneity

any point of a rhizome can be connected to anything other, and it must be


3 multiplicity

no points or positions in a rhizome, only lines


4 asignifying rupture

can be broken or shattered at a given spot, but will start up again on one of its old lines, or on new lines

----------------------
due next week:
Finish reading the article.

Present a body of work in 50 images, printed as thumbnails, 10 up.
The images must be taken by you but can be sourced online if they will eventually exist online. You will hang your images and present your plan for the rhizomatic form your images will take at the beginning of class. You must still relate this structure back to the ideas of your artist. Include a diagram of your structure that incorporates the viewer. Be prepared to work in class next week.
