Pogo, the world-class audio/video mash-up artist of “Alice” and “Upular” fame, is working on a new project: mashing up and remixing cities around the world. He’s raising money to travel for the project on Kickstarter, and has released this week the results of his maiden voyage to Johannesburg. It’s a tremendously ambitious project, but seeing how well he’s done with Joburg inspires confidence in his ability to capture character in short clips of sounds and images.

Many internet mash-ups are amateur affairs. Interesting, yes, and sometimes high quality, but usually operate in a totally separate sphere from the “professional” stuff. Last year, a mash-up artist named Pogo, who made audiovisual mash-ups of Disney cartoons, caught the eye of Disney. Instead of just shutting him down, they added him to the payroll making promotional videos of new movies. Those videos, like the one for Up, were good, but didn’t have the same heart as his earlier work, especially the classic Alice. Now, though, he’s finished his year of service, and is back in action with “Wishery,” made of bits and pieces of the 1937 classic, Snow White. Check out Pogo’s mash-up Wishery after the click.
