Jonathan Harris har vært på farten, og har gjennomført et ikke så rent lite fotografisk storytellings eksperiment. Dette er igjen satt sammen i et flott grensesnitt. Sjekk selv på  thewhalehunt.org

Harris er også mannen bak fjonge tjenester som wefeelfine.org og  Universe.

Selv sier Harris dette om prosjektet:

“The Whale Hunt website was developed as an experimental interface for storytelling. Given an epic real world story, with lots of content and lots of metadata, how can the narrative be faithfully retold? The project presented a number of interesting design problems, including: how to present a large set of photographs (3,214) online while keeping download times relatively brief; how to express both the topography of the entire narrative and the ways in which any single moment fits into that narrative; how to extract and reveal the many substories occuring within the context of the larger story; how to convey the many feelings experienced on the hunt (boredom, fatigue, curiosity, excitement, exhaustion, sublime beauty); and more generally how to restage an epic real world experience on the Internet.”
