This experiment investigates what the world around us looks like when faces are replaced by emoticons.
Building on the last experiment (chimp) and using the excellent face.com web service, this experiment takes peoples pictures and analyses them for happy and sad faces...
This experiment is fun - it allows you to examine "How happy are your friends?". But beyond that, there is some art - especially looking at "How plain and dull does the world look with just emoticon faces?"
