We fight for wefeelfine.org

So it has been decided that whoever gets chose next week first gets to use wefeelfine.org.
I think that this site should be considered art because it is an artistic exploration of the topic of modern technology/communication and how we use it. This site trawls through recent blog posts for sentences starting 'I feel...' or 'I'm feeling...' and displays them in relation to a set of different sized coloured balls animated on the screen. Someone argued that this was a psychological study as opposed to an artistic one, and I disagree. Were it presented differently and its content analaysed in some way then it could be classed as psychological, or even as a social commentary. As it is this work allows the user to draw their own conclusions about it.

In need of another site I have chosen understandingvorn.org which is made by the same person as wefeelfine.org, Jonothan J. Harris.
