The online project Cowbird is a place where storytellers can keep audio-visual diaries, write stories and collaborate with others in documenting “sagas” taking place in the world, like the Occupy movement. Artist and programmer Jonathan Harris’s labor of love, Cowbird aims to grow as a community and focus on long-lasting and personal storytelling.
