Jonathan Harris

For the past few years I’ve been admiring the work of Jonathan Harris, a storyteller and digital anthropologist who creates stunning online experiments.

Think human-spirit-meets-computer-science:

We Feel Fine / “Harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs.”

Universe / “Using the metaphor of an interactive night sky, Universe presents an immersive environment for navigating the world’s contemporary mythology, as found online in global news and information.”

I Want You To Want Me / “This chronicles the world’s long-term relationship with romance, across all ages, genders, and sexualities, gathering new data from a variety of online dating sites every few hours.”
