The Website Of The Week: What Should I Read Next?

 
What Should I Read Next is a websites which uses your favorite books in order to suggest you a list of books that you could like.
This website is more for passionate readers, but it's extremely useful when you have nothing left in your library!
This is how it works:

To start with, write the name of your favourite book, author, or the last book you read in the box. For example, I decided to write"Eat, Pray, Love" by d'Elizabeth Gilbert.
 

A list appears, and I chose the first title corresponding to my research.
 
The website then proposes me a list of books I could like; in order to know more about one title, you just have to click on the book-shaped icon!
 

You can visit the website: HERE

Don't hesitate, and have a nice reading!

The Website Of The Week : Ana Somnia


For this new amazing experience, I will ask you to go in a dark room with the light on; your webcam must be turned on, and it's even better if the sound is on too.
Don't worry, I promise you it will be worth it!

But let me explain you the concept.
  
Once the website is ready, you find yourself in a little girl's bedroom, Ana Somnia, who asks you to turn off the light so that she can sleep.

That's what you do. 

Once the light is turned off in your bedroom, the light also turns off in hers, and she starts sleeping.


The forms become alive, under the bed, behind the drawers, above the little girl's head... And you find yourself thrown in her dreams, higher and higher, deeper and deeper, following these amazing forms that develop and become alive under your eyes.

You can interrupt the experience whenever you want by turning on your light, which turns on the light in the little girl's bedroom, interrupting her dreams by the way! 


You can take part of the experience Ana Somnia: HERE.

The Website Of The Week : We Feel Fine


We Feel Fine is a website created by Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar in August 2005.

The website is presented as an "exploration of human emotion on a global scale".

Every minute, the system searches the last blog articles posted in the world, presenting sentences such as "I feel" ou "I am feeling". The whole sentence is registered, and information such as the the age, gender, or country of origin of the writer are also registered in order to create statistics. The result of this experiment is a database of millions of feelings, constantly updated.

It allows us to question who feels what, when, and where. In which country people seem to be happier? What do 20 year-old women feel? How do people feel when the sun is shining?


The design of the website is very agradable and futuristic, and we take pleasure in navigating between the different feelings. The bright colors of the bubbles that represent the feelings differenciate from the dark of the background. It's like being lost in millions of stars...

"At its core, We Feel Fine is an artwork authored by everyone. It will grow and change as we grow and change, reflecting what's on our blogs, what's in our hearts, what's in our minds. We hope it makes the world seem a little smaller, and we hope it helps people see beauty in the everyday ups and downs of life."
