Rhizomatic Circulation

Deleuze and Guattari’s rhizome offers a complementary model for understanding the circulation of Partial Objects:

“Any point of a rhizome can be connected to anything other, and must be” (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987, p. 21).


Objects do not exist in a hierarchy; meaning emerges in lateral connections. A sound fragment may illuminate a text, a local gesture may resonate internationally, a visual piece may reinterpret a theoretical essay. The archive becomes an experimental network of intensities and resonances rather than a static repository.
