Suiting up for a day on the ice
Jonathan Harris‘ latest interactive opus, The Whale Hunt, has been nominated for a 2008 Best Visual Design Webby.
In May 2007 Harris spent nine days living with a family of Inupiat Eskimos in Barrow, Alaska, traveling with them as they hunted, killed, and chopped up two Bowhead whales. Harris documented the entire experience with 3,214 photographs, beginning with his cab ride to the Newark airport and ending after the second whale was so much meat on the ice.
If the experience sounds incredible, Harris’ website may the only thing that comes close to doing it justice.
Jonathan Harris recently competed in PHTHRD II where he built a Polaroid mosaic in 2 hours. You can VOTE for the winner of PHTHRD here.
