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.
