Initiated by qujOchÖ, Rhizomaniacs is a project inspired by Gilles Deleuze’s rhizome theory, envisioning community as a living network—an ever-growing, interconnected structure without a clear beginning or end. Like a rhizome, the project thrives on adaptability, multiplicity, and collaboration, celebrating diverse connections and shared growth. Rooted in inclusivity and collective exploration, Rhizomaniacs creates a space for emerging artists to experiment, connect, and co-create. With a commitment to non-patriarchal, non-gendered, and non-hierarchical principles, it fosters an environment where everyone feels encouraged to participate, shaping an open, evolving cultural ecosystem.at the Point 48°28' - 14°16' expect Visual mapping/ Pixel art game play/ Live performances/ audiovisual/Live coding Open jam session/ DJ sets.
