Yahoo! 10 x 10

THE DESIGN

Yahoo! Netrospective: 10 Years was inspired by 10x10, an online artwork by Jonathan Harris. 10x10 automatically gathers the top 100 words and pictures in the world every hour, based on what's happening in the news, and then displays these words and pictures in an interactive 10x10 grid.

Jonathan Harris

THE DESIGNER

Jonathan Harris is an information artist responsible for such projects as 10x10, and WordCount, an interactive presentation of the 88,000 most frequently used English words, ranked and scaled in order of commonness and displayed side by side as one very long sentence. Harris studied computer science at Princeton University, where he founded Troubadour Magazine, a publication about world cultures. He is also a cofounder of Oral Fixation Mints, a designer breath mint company.  He recently received a year-long fellowship at Fabrica, Benetton's creative think tank in northern Italy.  His work has been featured by CNN, Reuters, USA Today, BBC, Voice of America Radio, Reader's Digest, US Weekly, Creative Review, and Wired.  He lives in New York City.

His work can be seen at www.number27.org
