Abstract:
This paper examines rhizomatic archival structures, drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of decentralized and interconnected knowledge, as a dynamic solution for preserving XR (extended reality) and its complex histories. Unlike traditional hierarchical archives, referencing rhizomatic models emphasize decentralized, participatory systems that capture diverse perspectives and community-driven contributions. Such approaches are vital for XR, a medium shaped by rapid technological obsolescence and limited accessibility.
