I don’t think I’ve ever seen photography quite like this. It ends up somewhere between installation and graphic design. Can’t decide.

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale. At the core of We Feel Fine is a data collection engine that automatically scours the Internet every ten minutes, harvesting human feelings from a large number of blogs. Blog data comes from a variety of online sources, including LiveJournal, MSN Spaces, MySpace, Blogger, Flickr, Technorati, Feedster, Ice Rocket, and Google.

The interface to this data is a self-organizing particle system, where each particle represents a single feeling posted by a single individual. The particles’ properties – color, size, shape, opacity – indicate the nature of the feeling inside, and any particle can be clicked to reveal the full sentence or photograph it contains. The particles careen wildly around the screen until asked to self-organize along any number of axes, expressing various pictures of human emotion. We Feel Fine paints these pictures in six formal movements titled: Madness, Murmurs, Montage, Mobs, Metrics, and Mounds.

Finally after a long time of waiting Yokoland have put their portfolio together. The portfolio contains so much work and you can spend hours browsing and just admire the beauty that these 3 norwegians have created over the years. This is pure quality.

Coolio.

Posted before, but whatever.

Evan Penny’s sculptures were definately one of the most amazing things I’ve seen on this year’s ARCO. Saying that his work makes the hair on the back of your neck stand is putting it mildly. He creates incredibly lifelike sculptures of “normal” people, but somehow shifts the perspective and your eyes just get locked and you can’t stop looking until it makes you nauseous. Disturbing. Too bad the effect isn’t the same when looking at the photos of the sculptures..
