CCCB Archive. Glossary from XXI century

The video Glossary of the 21st Century can be seen in the CCCB Archive.
Since 1999 the CCCB’s audio-visual production team has developed a series of ‘thematic capsules’ that reflect on different aspects of the human being and society. These videos have been broadcast on Barcelona Televisió (BTV) and other local television stations by way of XTVL. The ‘Glossary’ of the 21st Century is of a selection of terms already in common use at the end of last century and newly emerging terms about which there are still varying degrees of confusion. The glossary is informed by a critical spirit and a sense of fun that anticipates, rectifies or ridicules the new generation of digital encyclopaedias (wikis).
