“Although other ages have been networked, ours is the first modern age in which the network is the dominant organizational paradigm, supplanting centralized hierarchies”
(Varnelis, 2007)
“If appropriation was a key aspect of postmodernism, network culture almost absent-mindedly uses remix as its dominant form.”
(Varnelis, 2007)
Paul Baran’s network models (born 1926)
What is a rhizome?
“any point of a rhizome can be connected to anything other, and must be. This is very different from the tree or root, which plots a point, fixes an order.”
Deleuze & Guattari (1987:7)
