Rendered Mash Up

 Rendered Mash Up

I chose my airplane/rose mash up to render. I think this mash up was a good example of remix culture because it is a kind of dystopian narrative on the way our society currently interacts with the natural world. The juxtaposition between the built object of the airplane and the natural rose serves to offer an idea of a future where machines and nature interact in an intimate way, (for better or for worse). 

    I think the mash up itself also makes for a beautiful statue with an anti-gravity feel to it. I chose to use a golden birch material, because I also liked the juxtaposition in a natural material that looks as though it's a gold statue. I chose to render the object as if it were in a museum or art gallery to further add to the aura of mystique around it.
