Utriusque cosmi maioris scilicet et minoris metaphysica by Robert Fludd   "Ideas enter our above-ground culture through the underground. I suppose that is the kind of function that the underground plays, such as it is. That it is where the dreams of our culture can ferment and strange notions can play themselves out unrestricted. And sooner or later those ideas will percolate through into the broad mass awareness of the broad mass of the populace. Occulture, you know, that seems to be perhaps the last revolutionary bastion." -- Alan Moore

About us

Welcome to Art and Popular Culture, a nobrow wiki for the loftiest of intellectuals and the most jaded hedonists; exploring the hidden links between "mainstream" and "underground" culture.

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. --Mille Plateaux - Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, volume 2 of Capitalisme et Schizofrénie (1980)
