From Thousands of Documents to One Wiki – Our Journey Toward Collaborative Documentation Morgan Stricot Matthieu Vlaminck - ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe
Summary: In 2019, ZKM’s Wiki was resurrected to document the software-based art collection. Improved and adapted to their specific needs, this new Wiki led to a profound restructuring of their documentation and management strategies for software-based artworks. The possibilities offered by this editing tool are beyond expectation, especially for the version control and collaborative documentation. In this presentation, Morgan Stricot and Matthieu Vlaminck will address this journey from building the Wiki to transferring the knowledge, distributed among many individuals, years of communication via email and documents scattered over different analog and digital locations.
