Dear friends and colleagues, we are very much looking forward to the workshop „WikiWhat? Collaborative building and maintenance of knowledge resources using monoskop.org <http://monoskop.org> as an example“ with Dusan Barok.
It will take place as part of the exhibition OPEN SCORES at panke.gallery in Berlin. Cu there, felix SUNDAY 22 September 2019 , 11:00 – 17:00 Since the early days of the Web, Wiki software plays a crucial role in the collaborative formation and maintenance of knowledge resources. Its basic principles include that (authorized) people can read, change and contribute content and materials, that all changes are transparent (through versioning), and that the basic technique of linking allows for creating new relationships and thus build new systems of meaning. Based on Wiki software, the project monoskop.org <http://monoskop.org> has grown into a major cultural resource over the last decade. It evolved from linking and contextualizing information on Central and Eastern European experimental and media arts to host relevant materials, such as books, texts, documents and media files, and thus became a publishing initiative in its own right. Taking his own work as founder and main editor of the site as a starting point, Dušan Barok will conduct a workshop exploring the theoretical and practical potential of wikis to support long-term collaborative projects and foster the aesthetics of linking. This workshop is for cultural producers interested in exploring the potential of wikis to organize heterogeneous materials in their own fields of practice. No special technical skills are necessary to participate, please bring your own laptop. Limited number of participants. Please register with workshop [at] netzkunst [dot] berlin If you want to tune, there is a wonderful interview with Dusan online here: https://vimeo.com/324968617 >From Notepad to Cultural Resource, Interview with Dusan Barok Dušan Barok is a researcher, artist and cultural activist based in Amsterdam. His practice involves networked media, participatory events and experimental publishing, and he runs and edits Monoskop. Monoskop is a media wiki that evolved from linking and contextualizing information on Eastern European experimental and media arts to host relevant files, such as books, texts, documents and media files, and thus became a publishing initiative in its own right. Due to its constant growth, Monoskop has transformed from a special interest archive to become a significant cultural resource. Today the wiki comprises of 6,744 entries and 13,616 documents, and the related wordpress log introduces new publications on a regular basis. Increasingly, Monoskop also triggers offline events, frequently with cultural institutions that have come to appreciate the unique resources of this autonomous archive. -- | |||||||||||||||||| http://felix.openflows.com | | Open PGP | http://felix.openflows.com/pgp.txt | -- rohrpost - deutschsprachige Liste zur Kultur digitaler Medien und Netze Archiv: http://www.nettime.org/rohrpost http://post.in-mind.de/pipermail/rohrpost/ Ent/Subskribieren: http://post.in-mind.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/rohrpost/
