WIKI LOVES UPBL IC ART MAY 2013 AND OTHER GLAM EVENTS Wiki Loves Public Art There are several thousands of sculptures and other works of art that aren't covered by Wiki Loves Monuments, but still are very relevant to document. In many cases pictures of them are free to upload to Wikimedia Commons. Now Wikimedia Sweden and Europeana (the massive collaboration of European GLAM institutions) want your help in organizing a photo scavenger contest called Wiki Loves Public Art. What counts as PUBLIC ART? We are thinking about including sculptures, mosaics, mural paintings, memorials and place specific installments in the public space that are registered in a third party's database and have a specific ID number. Exactly what objects that will be included in the contest will be decided on the national level depending on what data we can get our hands on and what falls within the Freedom of Panorama in the country. Other GLAM Events As part of the Europeana Awareness project we will also take part in organizing other GLAM events in at least six European countries. Most likely in Sweden, Poland, UK, France, Germany, and the Netherlands as there are active Chapters there that are already working with GLAM activities. If you are planning to organize a GLAM event in any of these countries please take the opportunity to contact us and discuss how we can help! For example, adding Europeana as a partner for the event that you are organizing is likely to open new doors and attract more institutions. We could also help out with man-hours, perhaps supply you with information, contacts and digitized media that Europeana already has (which could be hard and time consuming to collect otherwise) or suggest and contact international guests that could participate in your event. We will be here at Wikimania during the entire conference so please take the chance to talk to us! If you would like to help out, please send us an email at [email protected] or [email protected] Be sure to follow us at Twitter @wikieuropeana and use the hashtag #wikilovespublicart For more information about our project, please visit: http://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Projekt:Europeana_Awareness/Wiki_Loves_Pu blic_Art Original cover picture from Wikimedia Commons/author DMY.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2011: the Experience in Spain and Reflections Regarding the Diffusion of Cultural Heritage

Sierra Canduela President of Wikimedia Spain Degrees in Chemistry and Theology and diploma in Therapeutic Pedagogy Secondary school teacher [email protected] Santiago Navarro Sanz Member of Wikimedia Spain Student of the degrees in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry (Jaume I University of Castellón) and History (UNED) [email protected] Tomás Saorín Lecturer at the Faculty of Communication and Documentation (University of Murcia) [email protected] Submission date: February, 2012 Accepted date: April, 2012 Published in: May, 2012 Abstract Wikipedia came into being in cyberspace. Its early years were marked by asynchronous work by users located all over the world who hardly ever related on a personal level outside the net. With time, some of the volunteers met at what were called wikimeetups, encounters initially aimed at tightening bonds which did not bring about any direct improvement to the project content. Face-to-face initiatives later took place that involved not just volunteers but also cultural entities. The most recent event and the one with the greatest impact was Wiki Loves Monuments 2011, a competition to photograph monuments in 18 European countries, including Spain. The high level of participation led to 160,000 photographs of monuments being taken, with Spain occupying the third place in terms of number of photographs.

WIKI LOVES MONUMENTS ITALIA Contest Fotografico
WWW.WIKIMEDIA.IT WIKI LOVES MONUMENTS ITALIA contest fotografico organizzato da WIKIMEDIA ITALIA Associazione per la diffusione della conoscenza libera Cos’è Wiki Loves Monuments? Wiki Loves Monuments Italia è la sezione italiana di Wiki Loves Monuments, concorso fotografico interazionale, organizzato per la prima volta nel 2010 nei Paesi Bassi, con un risultato finale di oltre 12.500 foto inviate. Il successo olandese ha scatenato l'interesse di gruppi di volontari in altri Paesi e, nel 2011, il concorso si è esteso a livello europeo, interessando 18 Paesi e ricevendo l'appoggio, tra gli altri, della Commissione Europea e del Consiglio d'Europa. I 168.208 scatti del 2011 hanno valso a WLM l'inserimento tra i Guinnes dei primati quale “concorso fotografico più grande del mondo”. Comune denominatore delle immagini che possono partecipare a Wiki Loves Monuments è il soggetto degli scatti: un monumento. Con questo termine s’intende, adottando la definizione dell’UNESCO, un insieme molto ampio di opere: edifici, sculture, siti archeologici, strutture architettoniche, siti naturali e interventi dell’uomo sulla natura che hanno grande valore dal punto di vista artistico, storico, estetico, etnografico e scientifico. Wiki Loves Monuments Italia, un progetto di Wikimedia Italia Il progetto Wiki Loves Monuments Italia è promosso e coordinato da Wikimedia Italia – Associazione per la diffusione della conoscenza libera. Attiva dal 2005 nell’ambito dell’open culture in qualità di corrispondente italiana ufficiale di Wikimedia Foundation, la fondazione che sostiene Wikipedia in tutto il mondo, Wikimedia Italia è una associazione di promozione sociale che persegue obiettivi di solidarietà sociale nel campo della promozione culturale, prefiggendosi come scopo principale quello di contribuire attivamente alla diffusione, al miglioramento e all’avanzamento del sapere e della cultura.
