Jonathan Harris at Flash On The Beach

This talk by Jonathan Harris, which I was lucky enough to attend, has caused quite a stir in the Flash community. For the first hour, Jonathan talks about his (amazing) work. In the closing half hour, he takes not just the Flash community, but all Web workers to task for concentrating too much on the technical and not enough on meaning. It’s the ideas that matter, he argues; enough with the experimentation already.

  3. Hatching a New Way to Tell Stories

    Fast and agile like a bird, slow and ruminant like a cow. Jonathan Harris says his new project is designed to be a narrative alternative to the data mayhem that fills the web.

    Unlike his much-lauded past project, We Feel Fine, Harris says Cowbird is not about cataloguing diverse, fragmentary statements. He wants it to be a place where people can go deeply into the "ecstatic truth" of human life.
