Welcome to the World of MOMA
This wiki is the online home of the wikimoma community arts project.
The project enables participants to experiment & explore their own creativity within a fictional narrative
about an island, it's world famous museum and the airline that flies you there.

A unique & ambitious Project

Wikimoma aims to be as inclusive & as accessible as possible. Therefore, it is broad in scope and incorporates all creative modalities & forms.
In particular though, wikimoma experiments with the integration of:

  • game making & playing
  • arts & crafts: making and sharing
  • multi-media story telling
  • digital creativity & simulation

The creative output of the wikimoma community arts project takes the following forms:

  • hybrid games (think table top role-playing, LARP, card games, open-world digital simulation, cosplay, etc)
  • iterations of the Museum of Moving Art (MOMA) - physical & digital
  • artworks for MOMA
  • stories (last but not least)

These, together, can be considered a composite artwork.
