Re-designing Wikipedia

[edit]

The fourth year students of ÉSAD Valence have been working during the annual guess workshop on wikipedia and possible scenarios of developement for the digital encyclopedia.

Concept

[edit]

Our proposal is to, over the course of one semester, redesign Wikipedia. This does not mean only a restyling of the presentational surface, but a complete rethinking of what a born-digital encyclopaedia could be. From insertion to organisation to presentation to extension to archival, we'd like to create a set of prototypical systems for knowledge creation, sharing and sustenance. Systems that facilitate contextualisation and relativation between different information entities.

Workshop

[edit]

During one semester, together with the Zurich-based studio Astrom/Zimmer, we've elaborated on wide topics, such as :

  • classification,
  • browsing,
  • materialisation,
  • parasitization,
  • navigation,
  • vizualisation,
  • democratisation of knowledge.

Presentations

[edit]

Our thoughts, experiments and conclusions will be presented in the auditorium on January 14th 2015 at 1:30 pm.
You're all warmly invited to join.
