Use PLAYFUL CREATIVITY to explore & develop progressive social, political and environmental perspectives.

DISCOVER the fictional Island of Fafifi, it's world famous Museum and the Airline that takes you there.

CONTRIBUTE to an evolving experimental public artwork of global proportions.

BRING INTO BEING the World of Wikimoma whenever you participate in any of our pop-up galleries, games, events or creative projects.

A unique & ambitious Project

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.
It has been designed to be broad in scope and allow anyone to find a place regardless of there skill level,
or creative interests. WikiMoma aims to be as inclusive & as accessible as possible.
For a detailed description of the project, please see the About the Project page.

What a momentous occasion! Ryan (@Birb) has started modelling the Building for the Air Fafifi School of Aviation. Rose has begun backing work for this part of the project on the Wiki and also is reaching out to the creator of a fictional island in X-Plane for tips on how to get started.

PLAYFUL CREATIVE @ NEWLANDS
As a result of the Playful Creative events held last term at Newlands Neighbourhood House, new people have got involved in moving the whole wikimoma project forward. Phil and Unty Rose have had a few sessions working on the game mechanics in relation to character and story development in the Fly Air Fafifi board game. Peta has begun developing The Basement pop-up gallery structure, while Hannah and Tessa have offered to help with transport and setting up for Playful Creative. Term 4 for Playful Creative is looking really exciting with plans to involve the broader Newlands community by placing The Basement in the Lounge area and providing opportunities for community members to contribute artworks to a developing exhibition in the structure.

ONLINE COLLABORATION
Ryan (@Birb), an avid flight simmer and school student in Tasmania, met Unty Rose on Discord testing out a new Shared Flight mod for X-Plane which allows Virtual Pilots to share a cockpit and fly together as co-pilots. Ryan became interested in the wikimoma project, particularly the new Virtual Aviation 4 Serious Funsters portal. He has been collaborating with Rose - teaching the Sim and how to fly, developing videos for the Flight Mode game, and exploring the potential for the School of Aviation in the Moma Game. Ryan's ambition IRL is to become a Certified Flight Instructor.

Rose has been reworking earlier material and conceived of Virtual Aviation 4 Serious Funsters - a portal for Flight Simmers,
to enable them to fly into the fictional world of the MOMA hybrid game. See the recent developments here.

The 1st 'Playful Creative' event is a roaring success!

About 12 people attended an all abilities, all ages and queer friendly social event at the Newlands Neighbourhood House on 21st July. The full story here.

So what about Game Theory?

In regards to integrating game-making and playing into community arts practice, let's take a look at Game Theory. This video is super informative and inspirational. Interestingly, game theory computer models have shown that small islands of positivity spread and win over time :-)

Easter Egg not Easter Island

Work has begun on The Peopling of Fafifi ... the story of how a new society evolved on an island in the South Pacific. (co-ordinates 24°59'60.0"S 159°59'60.0"E).
