Jonathan Harris – the web like you have never seen it before

By paul.fabretti / June 5, 2008 / Uncategorized / 7 Comments

At Thinking Digital, I was moved to see and hear Jonathan Harris and his work. Jonathan is an unassuming chap. Quiet, but self-confident and I, like Steve was blown away with some of the work he showed us!

I want to show you some of his work including the links because I think the only way to discuss this work is to show you it:

We Feel Fine:
A work of art detailing human emotion. A bot trawls the web looking for the phrases “I feel” or “I am feeling” and presents the findings in the most stunning ways.

And a great video explaining all about it:

I want you to want me:
A project that needs to be seen (and touched) to be believed!

And the video:

Thanks to Tara though – who it was FAB to meet after all this time at Thinking Digital :-) – Twistori does a little of the same thing, but uses twitter as its content source. Congratulations to Amy and Robby. Give it a go, it is fascinating:

Enjoy!

    Hey Herb! Thanks for stopping by!

    In reply, I WAS going to say in response “I want you to want me”, but I’m not sure if that it appropriate!

    Thursday afternoon of Thinking Digital was an inspiring few hours. It was a reflective and thoughtful afternoon, not something I thought I would see at a conference about the future of digital marketing, but which ties in very much with Tara’s messages too.

    Thoroughly enjoyed the event Herb!
