With due respect to both artists and their fans, I think this particular mashup would be ghastly.
Downtown, The Loop, Chicago, Illinois.
Wednesday, February 3, 2010.
Presented is a set of images, the original photo and art mashups. The photo shows a statue of a woman, seeming to be kneeling on a wall, but that is an illusion of the point of view. This statue is in Santa Fe, at the New Mexico Museum of Art. It is outdoors in the West Sculpture Garden. Titled “Border Crossing”, it is a life size depiction of a poor Mexican couple, the woman sitting on the shoulders and neck of her man as he strides with great determination. This polychrome fiberglass sculpture was made in 1989 by American artist Luis A. Jiménez Jr. (1940 – 2006). The images of the figures convey emotions of fear but hope, doubt but determination, wariness but single minded purpose. It portrays embers of an old life but sparks of a newer better one. In spite of the grim and complex demeanors of the characters, there is an inherent optimism in this statue which conveys the spirit of those willing to risk their entire way of life for the promise of a better one. Information and pictures of the whole statue are at:

My picture is taken from the city street outside the walls of the sculpture garden. My view makes it appear as though the woman is kneeling on the wall, but close inspection shows his forehead and hair between her hands and knees. While the statue conveys a mix of emotions and is meant to be hopeful, this photo always struck me as having a certain melancholy and despondency. It was taken on a cold dreary cloudy rainy winter day in February. I cannot decide if the somber dispirited look of the woman is an artifact of my camera's limited view of the whole statue, or an atmospheric effect due to the gloomy weather, or else just my own individual interpretation. Regardless the explanation, this statue, for me, seen from this angle of my camera, has a far different interpretation than what the artist intended. To me, this image, from the heartland of ancient Southwest civilizations, speaks of sunset or twilight, a sad contemplation of a world full of rich indigenous cultures that have been unable to defend themselves against modernity. To render that interpretation, the original photo has been reworked in the second image.
I did little to change the main subject or general layout of the image, just some color and highlight corrections, and some minor architectural adjustments of the walls. The main alterations were the addition of a sunset sky, the metate and the zia, and the fire and the highlights it adds to the woman. The sky is a sunset image I took in Guilderland, New York (outside Albany). The fire is from a photo I took of the fireplace in the lobby of the hotel across the street from the statue and museum. The metate in front of her was made from snippets of the stucco wall. The zia, the symbol of New Mexico and its native arts, was hand drawn and blended into the sky. At times I like the zia in the image, and at others I find it obtrusive, so I have also rendered the image without it (version 3). Version 4 is a tighter crop of the image that eliminates extraneous periphery.

Photo & Art Series 2
Sometimes, a photo by itself is boring or mundane, but it has an alternative life or message when combined with other imagery for an artistic reinterpretation. Sometimes a photo is not much of an image by itself, but it is a useful graphical element or resource that can be used to add textures, colors, or other enhancements to other photos or art. Sometimes a photo inspires new meanings or interpretations, and artistic re-renderings of the photo can elevate it beyond its face value subject. In this series of images, photos have been combined, hashed, rehashed, and mashed up to make new art and images.

"Architextures" is a series of composite images. Each image is a mashup of multiple photographs. At least one of the sources is of an architectural subject, anything from closeup walls or windows to broad cityscapes. The added images provide texture or pattern. In some, the architectural forms are preserved and obvious. In others, the pictures become pure abstractions. Yet in all of them, the inherent geometry, angles, lines, and repetitions of the architecture are essential to the geometry and esthetics of the final image. Most of the source images used for this series are already posted in this photostream. The links to the original and source images are listed below.
The ”High Rise” sets are based on images of the Atlanta, Georgia skyline and its tall buildings. Source images and explanatory notes are elsewhere in this photostream.

Fuse urban sport with traditional and what have you got? A right Mash Up!
The Bridgend Mash Up is a very
different family event taking place
throughout the streets of Bridgend
town centre. Come along to watch,
compete or have a go!
Saturday 19th May the Bridgend Mashup is an unusual event that will take place in the streets of Bridgend town centre and essentially mixes (or "mashes") traditional athletics in the streets with contemporary urban street culture.
We have introduced some new elements to the event this year including high jump, shot-put, tarp surfing, slacklining, scooter tricks and the chance to run with the Olympic torch.
At Mashup Camp in Mountain View on Feb. 21, 2006, Aaron Clark and Sarah Banko gave a first-rate demo of Mozes, an app that mobile users should check out.
