Inspired by a Creative Commons (CC)\u00a0blog<\/a>\u00a0the Painter Goblin decided to tackle the top-ten visual artworks at The Met Museum (July 2017).<\/p>\n

The blog discusses how folks are using CC search to find works held at The Met. The Painter Goblin has been using Wikidata to similar effect – an exploration – a technique grounded in happenstance to discover and understand art held in the fantastic list of institutions that make it available on the Wikidata\/Wikimedia service. With little exception, The Painter Goblin cannot replace the original works but hopes that visually interesting\/stunning remixes when they appear inspire others to indulge in their own discovery and works of creation.<\/p>\n

Let’s see what our elusive basement goblin did with the top-ten<\/a> listed above… <\/em><\/p>\n
