ENCYCLOPEDIC CARTOONS. The project’s idea is based on the structure of the reference book encyclopedia. This knowledge pool was created in the 18th century as a part of the Enlightenment. A variety of articles referring to different items should enable a deeper understanding of the world. Nowadays, knowledge concepts are developed by science and are subjected to a constant revision. It has become an utopia to provide a reference book for larger contexts of the mechanisms of the world. The Encyclopedic Cartoons Video Project presents an item for every letter of the alphabet – and a film to every item.

The word-list: A-ARCHITECTURE, B-BALLET , C-CHILDHOOD, D-DISGUST, E-EMINENT, F-FRUIT, G-GROWTH, H-HOSPITALITY, I-INFINITY, J-JOINT, K-KILL JOY, L-LEGS, M-MECHANICAL, N-NIGHT OUT, O-OLD, P-PARADISE, Q-QUILT, R-REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN, S-SUSTAINABILITY, T-TALK, U-UNCHAINED, V-VIOLENCE, W-WASTE, X-XENOPHOBIA, Y-YELP, Z-ZOOLOGY
