Remix of Historical Krogsta Rune stone (U 1125) Photograph
Humour
A remix of a public domain image of the Krogsta Rune stone in the archives of the Swedish National Heritage Board, by Lars Lundqvist. This image, which makes a comment on the possibilities afforded by Creative Commons images was produced as part of the 'Recreate Culture' initiative, in which Flickr users were encouraged to use public domain images in innovative ways. Users were asked to "Post a comment on an old picture, making a paraphrase, as something old in a
newcontext. Collide, innovate, play with space and time. Create and recreate. Bring to life. Modify and change location."
