This breaches the Twitter image upload limits. There\u2019s a temporary fix in place to handle this based on file size, where the image\u2019s resolution is reduced by the percentage difference required to meet Twitter limits. Twitter however seems to rely on both file size and resolution \u2013 and so I may swap in the correction algorithm that manages the file size by resolution instead.<\/p>\n<h2>Image Styles<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019d really like to incorporate photography into this work but like drawing where I discovered there may be too much detail to create a nice effect, it may be the same in some photographs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_991\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-991\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/the-painter-goblin-part-5-and-finally\/dbglm39voaa_g4g\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-991\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-991 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DBGLm39VoAA_G4G.jpg\" alt=\"Newcastle Amlyn\" width=\"900\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DBGLm39VoAA_G4G.jpg 900w, https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DBGLm39VoAA_G4G-300x228.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DBGLm39VoAA_G4G-768x584.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-991\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wikidata:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q25894152\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.wikidata.org\/wiki\/Q25894152<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>it seems there are also limited public domain resources available to Wikidata \u2013 National Library of Wales seems to have a lot of drawings for example. Photos also seem limited to a handful of institutions.<\/p>\n<p>If I can filter them well enough, and if I can find a decent haul, then mid 20th Century photographs onward would be great to play around with. Sid and Nancy,\u00a0Nirvana, or Jimi Hendrix&#8230; imagine.<\/p>\n<h2>Alternative Sources of Images<\/h2>\n<p>In previous blogs I\u2019ve mentioned Europeana, Trove, DPLA. If I could incorporate images from other resources into this work i&#8217;d love to promote those as well, take for example this Europeana <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20190608175215\/https:\/\/www.europeana.eu\/portal\/en\/search?f%5BCOLOURPALETTE%5D%5B%5D=%234B0082&amp;f%5BTYPE%5D%5B%5D=IMAGE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">search for the color indigo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Alternative Queries<\/h2>\n<p>Currently the SPARQL queries I use and mentioned in <a href=\"https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/the-painter-goblin-part-3-data-sources\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">part 3<\/a>, are quite well suited to works of art in museums and galleries.<\/p>\n<p>If collection and location are missing from a Wikidata entry \u2013 e.g. for an entry about the performer Jeff Goldblum, then the Painter Goblin can\u2019t pick up an image and then <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/paintergoblin\/status\/868791084998053888\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tweet it out<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When I have the opportunity I\u2019ll write a heuristic or new set of queries to work around this limit \u2013 this would allow arbitrary sources of images on Wikidata to be used for fun. It may be as simple as utilizing SPARQL\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/rdf-sparql-query\/#optionals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OPTIONAL keyword<\/a> more effectively, but we\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<h2>IIIF<\/h2>\n<p>A hot topic is the International <a href=\"http:\/\/iiif.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Image Interoperability Framework<\/a> (IIIF). I haven\u2019t gained enough experience with this to understand how it can help with discoverability through consistent cataloging of images, or discoverability across a wide number of sources. What I know it can do though is help unlock, not just whole images, but regions of images! This is quite exciting when we think about other ways the Painter Goblin may want to remix some of the images that cross his path.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_992\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-992\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/the-painter-goblin-part-5-and-finally\/dbebwdtuwaezsmq-jpg-large\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-992\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-992 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DBEBWDTUwAEzSMQ.jpg-large.jpg\" alt=\"Hokusai: Tenko\" width=\"300\" height=\"372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DBEBWDTUwAEzSMQ.jpg-large.jpg 300w, https:\/\/exponentialdecay.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/DBEBWDTUwAEzSMQ.jpg-large-242x300.jpg 242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-992\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wikipedia:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Hokusai_Tenko.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/File:Hokusai_Tenko.jpg<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Interactivity<\/h2>\n<p>I think it\u2019d be nice to add some interactivity to this work. Allowing users to send through Wikidata links, or their own images. The former would be a great way to promote Wikidata and have them engage in a way I\u2019m learning to. The latter, could just be good fun. I\u2019ll likely need to change my hosting to be able to make this service happen.<\/p>\n<h2>Finally: enjoy!<\/h2>\n<p>All that\u2019s left after that is to enjoy the output. If you like any of the art produced, let me know. If you\u2019ve any suggestions or designs on palettes, or even requests for images (at least until interactivity is added), please let me know. It\u2019s nice to know when something gives back to people.
