The Web’s Secret Stories: Jonathan Harris

After checking out some of the vids after Pangea Day, a friend pointed out this wicked project from Jonathan Harris:

Artist and computer scientist Jonathan Harris makes online art that captures the world’s expression – and gives us a glimpse of the soul of the internet. His projects are both intensely personal (the “We Feel Fine” project, which scans the world’s blogs to collect snapshots of the writers’ feelings) and entirely global (“Universe,” which turns current events into constellations of words). But their effect is the same – to show off a world that resonates with shared emotions, concerns, problems, triumphs, and troubles.
