Visualizing Human Feelings

We Feel Fine 是一个搜集人们在各自的blog文章中所表达出来的情感的项目。每几分钟，系统就会搜集世界上最新发表的blog文章，分析并记录下作者想要表达的情感，比如快乐，悲伤等。然后通过一系列令人惊叹的图形展现出来。

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. At this level, Madness presents a bird’s eye view of humanity – like standing atop a skyscraper and peering down at the street. People bustle to and fro, darting in and out of shops, hailing taxis, falling in love, laughing, handling personal crises. From the skyscraper, the people below are like ants – their words cannot be heard, their facial features cannot be seen, and the notion of individuality is hard to recognize. At this level, each particle seems insignificant.

不得不佩服这个项目的想象力和创造力。从分析结果来看，大体上悲伤的人要多过快乐的人（这个其实不用看结果也能大致猜到），比较有意思的是：感到快乐的女人要比男人多2倍。看来做男人还确实是比较命苦:)
