A glimpse into the soul of the Internet from Brooklyn-based artist Jonathan Harris

FROM TED.COM
"Brooklyn-based 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. Jonathan's work celebrates the world's diversity even as it illustrates the universal concerns of its occupants. His computer programs scour the Internet for unfiltered content, which his beautiful interfaces then organize to create coherence from the chaos."

That said - whatever you're doing - stop immediately and go to http://www.wefeelfine.org/ to see a live interface of how the world is feeling at this exact moment in time.Jonathan is one of those rare visionaries and inspired thinkers that combines technology with creativity to provide insights into human nature and global emotions. The fact that he lives right here in Brooklyn makes him that much cooler.
