“We feel fine” is Jonathan Harris famous interactive piece from 2006. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). All of this information is saved. The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 – 20,000 new feelings per day. Using a series of playful interfaces, the feelings can be searched and sorted across a number of demographic slices, offering responses to specific questions.

You can find a lot of great HTML5 experiments on http://www.chromeexperiments.com/ One really neat app that we found was Dark Room. It’s sort of an Apple Aperture/Adobe Lightroom lite version, where you can open images and adjust exposure, color temp and much more. Browse around, and then let’s make some great HTML5 projects together!

“SuperShapes are organic shapes that are rendered by evaluating the superformula with different parameters. This formula creates some beautiful and very organic shapes that can be used in other graphics to make a dynamic graphic composition (either interactive or static).”
This is much more wonderful than the picture makes it look.

Camille Utterback has made some really interesting projects, aiming to explore “How we use our bodies to create abstract symbolic systems, and how these systems (language for example) have reverberations on our physical self”. Text Rain is a rather old installation, but shows in a good way a very understandable physical-digital system.
