"Astonishing and brilliant" . New York Magazine
"A mesmerizing visual experiment" . Reuters
"Stunningly gorgeous" . The Washington Post
"Renaissance man for the information age" . New York Arts Magazine
"So incredible... it almost brings me to tears" . Eye Magazine
"A fascinating combination of art, science, culture, and current affairs" . USA Today
"Sweetly sad-yet-hopeful... touching, and tragic, and a lot about design, and art, and how those two mitigate loneliness, create connection, and influence our lives" . Wallpaper
"If you believe that the Internet is a cultural revolution on the level of modern capitalism, the nuclear age, or even the age of reason, then think of Harris as struggling to create its Impressionism, its Abstract Expressionism, or its neoclassicism—struggling, in other words, to develop a new artistic language for a new human condition. And undoubtedly for a new generation. We Feel Fine—together with a handful of Harris’s other works—defines a profound new kind of information design: whittling down the world’s 70 million Web sites and blogs into a framed image of humanity. And it does it live, continuously, and autonomously... constantly changing artistic responses to a constantly changing world" . Metropolis
"The result is a new way to engage with images and information. But for all of Harris’s high design and technological guile, the real achievement may be much simpler... he has reinvigorated interest in one of our basic cultural building blocks: a good story, well told" . Good Magazine
"A sociopath... a passive monster... he may make someone out in the world irate enough to harm HIM if they discover how he has used and exposed them" . The Rumpus (angry commenter)
"What won’t change in the future is the search for love, though how we search will evolve... Present or future, may all our digital soul exchanges occur in such an uplifting medium" . The New York Times
"Compelling, engrossing, informative, entertaining, beautiful... an unqualified success" . Buzzmachine
