two images
new online photography magazine called File. Have a look. I did. I came across this:

I have think it is the image makers in our culture who are working in a new way of thinking: one that is more open and multiple and does not acknowledge hierarchies, beginnings and endings, or segmental and oppositional divisions. It It is a thinking in terms of assemblages.
Have another look at Rustfetish. What you see is difference, heterogenous elements coming together.
Is this not a rhizomatic way of thinking?
Thanks for the reference Gary, glad you liked File, I was hoping you might. I must look into this rhizomatic thinking more deeply tomorrow, but it's past 1 am now so sleep bekons. Don't rhizomes have something to do with plants? In which case perhaps my thinking is rhizomatic.
Oxidization is one more manifestation of Kali at work and it certainly makes for some beautiful images.
