Social Media Platforms as Artistic Medium

This paper proposes to view the meaning of social media artwork as being grounded in a Deleuzian assemblage. Analysis of social media art is best started from a rhizomatic perspective due to its grounding in an assemblage rather than an essentialised perspective. This paper will analyse two artists as examples of how their work is ground in an assemblage and is best approached rhizomatically.
