[NetBehaviour] Rhizome's continuous decline

[BishopZ]

Rhizome is part of an anterior exteriority that has run amok. New Media was
historical, what more do you want?

The emergence of socially-relevant phenom come from very specific places.

(Heath, I know you are going to totally hate me from now on, but...)

The reason we all wear those matching blue shorts is that we share a common
need to...

The Han dynasty suffered a similar fate...

Jodorowsky, for instance, can make 50 things happen in the course of 1
minute of cinema. Can any artist on the globe glom together 50 interactions
and not make it a market model?

Has profit so far infected our sensibilities of what is beautiful that we
have forgotten even the most basic of human truths - the universe is larger
than we can understand.

So, yes, what is Rhizome, and where do they stand? Well, definitely behind
all the literate, though it is nice to hear what they are up to.

Let us know your ideas,
Bz
