An almanac of human emotion

One of the most novel, if not THE most novel applications of narrative I've come across in the last few years is the work of internet-artist Jonathan Harris. He has done some really amazing stuff with gathering stories on the web and rendering them as art projects.

In particular, We Feel Fine is my personal favourite. It's an almanac of human emotion. By trawling the web for blog posts, images and videos associated with the words "I feel ...", Harris has managed to measure the pulse of the world's emotional state. Amazing. Check it out.

I received a mail from Jonathan last night that launched the book version of the project. I highly recommend seeing the preview over here and then pre-ordering your copy here.

It will be a coffee table must-have.
