The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia is a nobrow encyclopedia for the loftiest of intellectuals and the most jaded hedonists. It explores the hidden links between "mainstream" and "underground" culture.
The encylopedia, a Wikipedia remix, is built along these themes and sensibilities and keywords as well as these artists and theorists.
Methodology
- "Method of this work: literary montage. I have nothing to say only to show." -- Passagenwerk (1927 - 1940) by Walter Benjamin
- The "rhizome" allows for multiple, non-hierarchical entry and exit points in data representation and interpretation. --A Thousand Plateaus - Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, volume 2 of Capitalisme et Schizofrénie (1980)
Biases
Biases

- Geography: Europe, United States, cross-fertilization between the Anglosphere and Francosphere.
- Geographical bias: Eurocentrism, Francophilia; see these themes and sensibilities and keywords, canonical artists and theorists
- Body genres

- Film: bias towards cult films, a kind disregard for Academy Awards
