| Summary: | Humans are invariably influenced by the technologically driven modes of perception, cognition, and execution, regardless of whether their creations directly engage with technology. At the heart of the anthropocentric worldview lies the construct of universal subjectivity, perpetuated by the dichotomy between subject and object, entwined with the treatment of reality in imagery. Even photography, once reliant on the presence of a photographer and a camera, has evolved into a swift and ubiquitous process through the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI). Our article contemplates the relational potentials between generative artificial intelligence (AI) in crafting realistic imagery and Deleuze/Guattari's philosophical concept of the rhizome. The AI-generated image explores what it means to exist in a world interconnected by networks that produce realistic photos without reference to binary universality values, references, symbols, or what the world looks like.
