We Feel Fine

Institute History

  • 2009 Sundance Film Festival

Description

Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar's work combines elements of computer science, anthropology, visual art, and storytelling. Their two works, Universe and We Feel Fine, are examples of the way stories can be told by manipulating massive amounts of data from the Internet.

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale. Every few minutes, We Feel Fine takes sentences that include the words “I feel” or “I am feeling” from all blogs that have just been published and visualizes them in six different movements that let viewers see what any part of the world is feeling at any given moment.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
