Wikidata says it acts as central storage for the structured data of its Wikimedia sister projects (e.g. Wikipedia, Wikivoyage, Wiktionary, Wikisource). While browsing this structured data one can encounter gaps related to different world visions. The notion of more-than-human for example, is absent. + +By means of a series of writing exercises with and without code, we will create Wikidata-structure like stories about more-than-humans, inspired by Alison Knowles' House of Dust. If everything goes following plan, we will generate a collective booklet at the end of the workshop. + +---- + +POSTER + +Q1 = Universe https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1 +Q2 = Earth https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2 +Q3 = Life https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3 +Q4 = Death https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4 +Q5 = Human https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5 +Q6 = doesn't exist https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6 +Q7 = doesn't exist https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7 +Q8 = Happiness https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8 +Q13 = triskaidekaphobia https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q13 +Q42 = Douglas Adams https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42 +Q7252 = Feminism https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7252 +Q10884 = Tree (perennial woody plant) https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10884 +Q51415 = Queer https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q51415 + +----- + + +11h-13h: Presentation +- 11h-11h20: Anaïs Berck intro (An) +- 11h20-11h55: Queer(ing) Wiki(data) (Z.
