"Rats are rhizomes. Burrows are too, in all of their function shelter, supply, movement, evasion, and breakout[...] You can never get rid of ants because they form an animal rhizome that can rebound time and again after most of it has been destroyed." - Deleuze and Guatarri, A Thousand Plateaus

Thanks to Ben Kapp for the photos and Katy for the video clip !

Don't let him know that The Logic of Sensation by Deleuze was on David Lynch's bookshelf!

I also played them this 1996 news coverage of Steve Mann making mobile video calls from the grocery store to illustrate my point that the roots of the present reach deep into the past, but the world also became the way it is very recently

We’ll discuss on Thursday but my hunch is that they dug the film’s treatment of artificial intelligence and systemic oppression and its fulfillment of y2k nostalgia
