Viki.wiki was founded in 2022 devoted to remedy some generally acknowledged inequities in the art world, particularly artists' lack of control over the use of their data and the platforms that determine our participation in its economics. We asked for the "web 3" implementation as a signifier but found this to be a bad signifier . Around a year later we supported the Aaron Schwartz Memorial Project by delivering flowers to the Internet Archive instead of a work product.

is an Abstraction of Method for reading and writing software as programming and political practice.

We publish this software as needed by artists, dealers, lawyers, collectives, museum people, critics and all else who welcome the plumber. Each page stores a history of its movement through the federation, and, like the original agreement , all attempts have been made to make it as fair, useful and neutral as possible.

We expect wiki to be the thing itself and not the idea of a contemporary art, post-internet thing. Each viki.wiki site functions as a veritable data Swiss Army knife and leaves room for appropriation by design. Artists that do not wish to host their own federated wiki servers can login from viki.wiki to have their edits shared back independently of any one institution.
