Dictionary of Popular Culture References
Years from now, will our kids be able to understand the stuff we thought was funny? Probably not. After all, look at all the references to wartime rationing in all the Bugs Bunny cartoons. So here's an attempt to collect contemporary popular culture reference for future generations. See something similar on MST3K or SNL? Send it to me!

UNESCO Thesaurus
The UNESCO Thesaurus is a controlled vocabulary developed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation which includes subject terms for the following areas of knowledge: education, science, culture, social and human sciences, information and communication, and politics, law and economics. It also includes the names of countries and groupings of countries: political, economic, geographic, ethnic and religious, and linguistic groupings. The UNESCO Thesaurus allows subject terms to be expressed consistently, with increasing specificity, and in relation to other subjects. It can be used to facilitate subject indexing in libraries, archives and similar institutions.
Digital Resistance to Political and Cultural Manipulation and Indoctrination
"The Propaganda series urges viewers to contemplate and evaluate the information they receive before accepting it as the truth; to question authority and the decisions made by those in power; to become an active participant and producer of thought as opposed to a passive receptacle for broadcast hype. The message is conveyed using a simple and direct visual language resulting in pieces that are easy to interpret and have immediate impact. In addition, animated pieces use audio/visual exclamation points to drive the message home. The purpose of this series is its message. If you agree with this message you can aid in its spread. All images in this series are public domain and I encourage you to download and distribute using the links on each piece's information page. The downloadable PDF & SWF differ slightly from the original as I have included my url to aid in the virulent dissemination of this work and its message.

WebMuseum
The WebMuseum was not made as part of any official or supported project. There's not grant behind that, it is total pleasureware (tm). I decided to start working on this exhibit because I felt more artistic stuff was needed on the Internet, so the WebMuseum took over my free time (nights and week-ends...) since mid-march 1994. Some companies may be trying to get a monopolistic grab on arts and culture, developing a pay-per-view logic, shipping out CD-ROMs while trying to patent stuff which belongs to each of us: a part of our human civilization and history. This exhibit is not trying to compete in any way with books or specialized CD-ROMs. Such an Internet exhibit will neither reach the quality of paper reproduction and professional critic, nor will it be as easily available as a local CD-ROM, given the transfer time on the Internet.
