Wikipedia writing workshop: Making media artists visible!

Wikipedia is one of the most important sources of information on the internet. With the aim of giving media artists more visibility in the online encyclopedia, we want to write more than 500 Wikipedia articles about media artists.

As part of the "Media Art on Wikipedia" project, our first edit-a-thon took place here at the ZKM on February 24th, 2024.  Now we want to continue meeting monthly to expand and publish the biographical articles. Did you miss our first edit-a-thon on media artists? Then come along and get to know Wikipedia as a contributor.
