The objective of this work is to investigate the different forms of compilation of human knowledge in contemporary society, especially in the virtual universe, from the analysis of the works of the writer Jorge Luis Borges and the filmmaker Peter Greenaway. They reopen the practice of encyclopedia and they subvert the traditional knowledge through the concept of unclassifiable. With the use of taxonomies and representations of knowledge, these authors create hybrid works and plenty of branches, sending up the possibility of rationalization and systematization of the world. For this, we intend to analyze literary works "La Biblioteca de Babel" (1944), "El idioma analitico de John Wilkins" (1952) and El libro de los seres imaginarios (1967), as well as films Prospero's books (1991) and The Pillow Book (1996). From this scheme it will be possible to draw a broader study about the virtual encyclopedias and the collective knowledge.
