On posthuman materiality: art-making as rhizomatic rehearsal engages art-making as a methodology for rehearsing the aesthetics and thematic arguments of the show Animal Parade.

The essay illustrates the value of vital materialism on the creative process and the affective “thing power” of objects in aesthetic concept and design.
