Artists, often anonymous, snag the images then mix them in a digital blender to create something new - usually something dripping with irony. The Cruise clip from 'The Oprah Winfrey Show' was married with 'Star Wars' effects, Muppet heads were grafted on to the 'Brokeback Mountain' poster and word balloons from comic strip's Mary Worth were scrubbed and funked up. They're often called mashups, just like the do-it-yourself songs that combine tracks from separate tunes. And like song mashups, visual remixes are spreading like viruses around Web sites and blogs, those increasingly popular online journals. With software making it easy to slice, dice and subvert everything from movie clips to comic strips, the unauthorized visual remixes could become a significant movement in digital art, a copyright lawyer's worst nightmare or both.
