Abstract

Borrowing the artistic synthesis of the "mash-up" concept from popular media, this paper discusses the use of original data components to create an original work of aesthetically-oriented qualitative research. The "mash-up," which originated in the music industry, allows the researcher to mine data fragments to present data synthesis in a unique and innovative manner. This paper argues the artistic and academic merits of this research method and explicates the process involved in its creation.
