Jonathan Harris

**"Jonathan Harris** (b. Aug 27, 1979) makes projects that reimagine how humans relate to technology and to each other. Combining elements of computer science, anthropology, visual art and storytelling, his projects range from building the world’s largest [|time capsule] (with [|Yahoo!]) to documenting an Alaskan Eskimo [|whale hunt] on the Arctic Ocean (with a [|warm hat]). He is the [|co]-creator of [|We Feel Fine], which continuously measures the emotional temperature of the human world through large-scale blog analysis, and has made other projects about [|online dating], [|modern mythology], [|anonymity], [|news], and [|language]. After studying computer science at [|Princeton University], he won a 2005 [|Fabrica] fellowship and three [|Webby Awards]. His work has also been recognized by AIGA, Ars Electronica, the state of Vermont (for which he co-designed the state [|quarter]), Print Magazine (which named him a 2008 [|New Visual Artist]) and The World Economic Forum (which named him a 2009 [|Young Global Leader]). He has given talks at Google, Princeton and Stanford Universities, the [|TED Conference], and at two hippy forest gatherings. His projects have been shown at [|The Museum of Modern Art] (New York), [|Le Centre Pompidou] (Paris), and have appeared on CNN, NPR, BBC, and Bhutanese television. Born in [|Vermont], he now floats between Brooklyn, NY, the open road, and cyberspace, documenting his life with [|one photo a day]". (Bio: http://www.number27.org/bio.html)
