Jax Rant [ wonderings on the web ]

Online art project by Jonathan Harris

Data visualisation system that associates human posting on blogs and Flickr and human feelings on the web via a live visualisation interface. View here.

His system scans the web to find sentences which contain the terms “I feel” or “I am feeling” and represents visually on the web.

Feelings are associated with the geographical location of posting and subsequently the weather, and demographics of the poster. These criteria can be used as a filtering mechanism for the data visualisation.

It is very cool. A live representation of human emotion.

Here is a video where he discusses his online art work and here is the work.
