This essay is about Agnes Varda's transcendant and playful 2000 film. I argue that it “incorporates an empathic and unrestrained old media practice into a distinctly new media technology and mode of production to interrogate the prescient ideas of waste and reappropriation and engage with a rooted network sensibility." I talk about potatoes, hands, rhizomes, and the privatized landscape of the present.
Written for Johanna Gosse's New Media.
