“There is no difference between what a book talks about and how it is made. Therefore a book has no object. As an assemblage, a book has only itself, in connection with other assemblages and in relation to other bodies without organs. We will never ask what a book means, as signified or signifier; we will not look for anything to understand in it. We will ask what it functions with, in connection with what other things it does or does not transmit intensities, in which other multiplicities its own are inserted and metamorphosed, and with what bodies without organs it makes its own converge.”
—Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Rhizome
Tumblr and Rhizome offer grants for Internet artists

The Moving the Still art exhibition was a pivotal moment for Tumblr’s GIF community, a chance for eight GIF artists to have their artwork displayed at Art Basel Miami Beach, one of the most influential contemporary art shows in North America.
The success of that exhibit has now inspired Tumblr to partner with Rhizome, the New Museum’s media organization, to support the rest of the community’s artists.
Rhizome is commissioning three art grants “with a special focus on projects from artists engaged with Tumblr,” the organization stated.
