Media Art History on Wikimedia projects
Media Art History on Wikimedia projects is a project by AvoinGLAM to find common practices for gathering and displaying the history of media art on Wikimedia projects. It is created in the memory of Minna Tarkka, Finnish curator, educator, artist and activist who passed away in 2023.
The initial collection is based on the artists and artworks in the MEHI – Media Art History in Finland project, a tour-de-force of Finnish arts organizations to record the history of media art in Finland. Read the Open Culture materials in the MEHI project.

The data for artists and artworks from the MEHI database has been imported to Wikidata. This way the results of the project are available for anyone to display and enrich. The artist entries link to Wikipedia articles whether they exist or not. If not, you can create it in your language. If an artist or artwork does not exist in Wikidata, you can add them using a snappy form.
