Description
un_wiki is a Perl script that retrieves text fragments from Wikipedia's deletion logs and displays them on a website.
2021
"un_wiki, by Wayne Clements…limits itself to retrieving and making visible the log file with contents refused by the open and democratic community of Wikipedia: a crafty speculation on the paradoxes of a system that matches the maximum opening made possible by the software and a substantially oligarchic structure as the only guarantor of the contents' quality".
(New media curator and critic, Domenico Quarantor.)
un_wiki received Award of Distinction, Net Vision category, Prix Ars Electronica 2006. It has been widely exhibited, including (2006) at the ICC gallery Tokyo in a Japanese language version.
