I build one absurd web project every month and publish it on https://absurd.website
I kept going.
There are now 48 projects.
The idea is still the same - I build mostly unnecessary web projects that sit somewhere between experiments, jokes, products, and art.
But over time they’ve started moving more toward net art than just experimental web.
Some recent ones:
VandalAds - a banner format you can destroy instead of just viewing Type Therapy - instead of talking affirmations, you type your thoughts to change them Slow Rebranding - branding changes so slowly you don’t notice it Guard Simulator - a crime appears for 15 seconds per day, if you catch it you win
I also started releasing some projects only to members, so not everything is public anymore.
What I like most is the rhythm: one public project and one private project each month. It forces me to realize ideas instead of leaving them in notes.
The core is still always the idea and concept - not polish, not execution, not even usefulness.
It’s also interesting to see whether people understand the thought inside a project, discover something else in it, or see nothing at all.
I’m still going, and at this point absurd.website has become a big part of my life.
Thanks.
