Losing Libraries:
A Nation Without School Librarians:

This morning on Web4Lib, Petter Naess mentioned both the Losing
Libraries site and the Nation Without School Librarians mashup. Both
of these sites are mashups, actually, taking data sources and
combining them with (usually) Google Maps to create an informative and
educational data visualization. Back in January 2008, the Horizon
Report forecast that data mashups were about two to three years away
from becoming mainstream. Right now, they sure look like they are!
Data mashups with Google Maps have become ubiquitous within news and
current events tracking as well as crisis and disaster management.
They are particularly heavily used in public health and health
outreach.

When I was looking at these maps of how libraries are disappearing,
the obvious next question was if this is tied to the national economic
crisis and general unemployment. The Slate mashup, "When Did You
County's Jobs Disappear?," seemed to confirm this, although a bit more
dramatically than the more reliable PatchworkNation map.

I was very intrigued that the unemployment patterns seem to differ
from the Hardship Index, and I am curious why. Why some states or
counties or communities are managing to avoid hardship despite some of
the highest unemployment rates in the country. What is different about
the communities or leadership or strategies that is making that
possible?

Does the Economic Stimulus & Recovery Act perhaps explain part of the
difference?

The next question I had was whether reduction of library services in
economically challenged areas was associated with reductions in other
core services, such as public safety, police, fire, other related
services. I know here in Ann Arbor, the city has reduced many of these
services and is both switching
streetlights from incandescent to LED while also testing locations
where streetlights may be removed or reduced in number altogether
(word of mouth from citizen in affected trial area). Are there other
cost saving mechanisms in process that may have safety implications?
For these questions, I was unable to easily or immediately locate
maps, but I hope someone is looking at this. There is a fascinating
article from Mashable looking at other ways in which maps and mapping
and mashups are being used for public and community good.

Here's another way to look at the patterns of library closures and
librarian layoffs. How are those states doing academically? Take a
look at the ranks by ACT score, and notice that in general the areas
that are closing libraries are already locations that are not doing
well academically.

Do you have unanswered questions for which this approach might be
useful? There are an ever increasing number of APIs available to make
federal data sources accessible for this purpose.

original image by krispy.
I love this mashup which krispy composed using various elements from my photostream. But what makes this even more of a combination piece is that one of the images he employed, The Peter Pa was based on yet another image originally created by CL and DB. This mashup was more like a meetup! This is like a four car crash with notes. Yes, I tried to list above each of the source images I could locate for this piece. Hope I didn't miss any.

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.
