1. We feel fine

    An exploration of human emotion on a global scale.

    Started in 2005 by Sep Kamvar and Jonathan Harris, We Feel Fine project is described as an exploration of human emotion on a global scale. We Feel Fine harvests human feelings from a large number of weblogs. 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.).

    Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.

  2. Museum of Obsolete Objects, by Jung von Matt  Although most of us remember the days before everything went digital and online and social, not everyone has affectionate memories of typewriters, 35 millimeters and Speak-and-Spell. And as we continue to progress, the group that never waited for the dial will continue to grow. In an effort to document such analog methods, the agency Jung von Matt  created The Museum Of Obsolete Objects, a collection of videos demonstrating the purpose of things we used before our phones were our cameras, when records played our music and sliding beads allowed us to do quick calculations.

    Cinemetrics by Den Haag

    Cinemetrics is about measuring and visualizing movie data, in order to reveal the characteristics of films and to create a visual “fingerprint” for them. Information such as the editing structure, color, speech or motion are extracted, analyzed and transformed into graphic representations so that movies can be seen as a whole and easily interpreted or compared side by side.
