Hiatus Over

I'm back with new artwork and with a new plan. I'm going to follow the lead of some great bloggers (Jen Renniger, http://www.pleasebestill.blogspot.com/, for one) and add some web content that I find particularly inspiring. Starting with:


The Work of Jonathan Harris, http://www.number27.org/

I was first introduced to his work through the TED videos, ted.com, that showcase ingenuous minds in the worlds of technology, entertainment, and design. Harris made a presentation of his latest project 'We Feel Fine', an online database of blog emotions. The program he has written automatically gathers information from blogs all over the internet and compiles them in an interface that lets you organize by categories like age, weather, location, etc. As his website mentions it is a great "exploration of human emotions". I also like the concept of 'The Whale Hunt' where he has took a picture every five minutes or so of a trip to Barrow, Alaska and then created a similar computer program framework for viewing them.

Fun things to think about for a Sunday night. I'll be back tomorrow to post some art work from my figure drawing class.
