I have blogged about the work of Jonathan Harris in the past. We Feel Fine was a revolutionary look at human feelings as they are presented in blogs around the world. His new work, Universe, documents the mythology of the everyday. Jonathan's work is remarkable because it uses the fabric of information generation to paint a picture of human activity. Unlike We Feel Fine, Universe is a project rooted in modern mythology. I think that it is particularly relevant because it not only shows the genesis of modern mythology, it shows the emphasis that we place on events. Spend 10 minutes in Universe, and you'll wonder about the emphasis that we place on people and events that are barely relevant. Paris Hilton doesn't deserve a single second of attention, but she has become a part of our modern mythology. Why?

Jonathan is also a designer if you are interested in his commercial work.
