A Wikipedia Reader - The Cosmic Horror of the Unknown

Academic exercise based on the A Wikipedia Reader, where a printed newspaper-like article is produced through Wikipedia links.
 
I subverted the idea a bit, so instead of clarifying (or informing about) a particular phenomenon through Wikipedia links I connected a series of obscures references beginning with Lovecraftian horror and ending at Neo-Noir, with concepts like Nihilism, Social alienation and Information overload in the middle.
 
The point here was to illustrate that a particular “bubble” of information that isn’t exactly popular, but instead is quite obscure and not well-known, nevertheless resides in the immensity of information within the internet (and is indeed connected to the production of mass media anyway).
The first and the second printed models.
