We Feel Fine is an online project by - Jonathan Harris & Sep Kamvar that collects human feelings from a large number of weblogs. The software searches blog entries for phrases such as "I feel" and "I am feeling" and then records the full sentence and classifies the feeling creating a database of human feelings. The database can be searched and sorted thus providing access to a whole range of questions such as 'where do people feel most happy? Are men happier than women? and so on.
The interface create beautiful infographics.
Jonathan Harris & Sep Kamvar describe the work as
'an artwork authored by everyone. It will grow and change as we grow and change, reflecting what's on our blogs, what's in our hearts, what's in our minds. We hope it makes the world seem a little smaller, and we hope it helps people see beauty in the everyday ups and downs of life.'
