We Feel Fine

We Feel Fine is an exciting online interactive 'artwork' that entices you to explore the varieties of human expression and emotion within the context of the computer age. 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. Using a number of dynamic interfaces, you're able to specify demographic criteria to begin answering questions you may have about old folks in Finland on Valentines Day 2005, for instance.

The Madness movement, with its network of many tiny colorful particles, was designed to echo the human world. Seen from afar, Madness presents a massive number of individual particles, each colored and sized uniquely, each flying wildly around the screen, proclaiming its own individuality.

There's a lot going on with this site so definately worth checking out. It's interactive and current. It is a similar kind of concept to the sight which the GLOG pointed out where the images and sound change in connection with the weather.
