Rhizomebook.com is founded by Jan van der Til as a representation and interpretation of his artistic practice.
Rhizomebook is a book, a thoughtfully designed construction in which form and meaning are interconnected. Rhizome is a term used by philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari to describe a specific type of network or structure. According to Deleuze and Guattari, a rhizome is a network of nodes that are connected to each other in a random way, without hierarchy or central point. This is in contrast to a tree, where there is a clear hierarchy with a root system and branches that grow from the center.
In the case of rhizomebook.com, the term rhizome is used to refer to the way the content of a book is organized or how it is connected to other sources and/or works by Jan van der Til. It suggests that the work of Jan van der Til forms a network of ideas that are connected to each other in a random way, without a clear central point or hierarchy.
