About
Absurd.website is a playground for absurd ideas, turning concepts into projects that blur the line between art, business, and nonsense.
Operating at the crossroads of contemporary art and digital experimentation, Absurd.website explores the playful yet thought-provoking potential of absurdity. Founded in 2020, it began with occasional, irregular releases. Since 2024, the initiative has followed a steady rhythm of one new project each month. And starting in mid-2025, members have also gained access to exclusive secret projects (Absurd Members Only).
Artistic Philosophy
Absurd.website began as the vision of a single artist, embodying the concept of βartist as a company.β While rooted in individual creativity, it is designed to grow into a collective, bringing together like-minded creators.
The essence of each project lies in the concept and idea β these always originate from the artist. Tools like AI may sometimes be used in the process, but execution is secondary to the underlying vision. Absurd.website treats absurdity not as a lack of meaning but as a creative lens to reimagine the everyday, the nonsensical, and the experimental. Humor, irony, and unconventional methods are employed to challenge perceptions of functionality, utility, and value.
Key Themes
- Contemporary Art: merging traditional and digital approaches to explore absurdity today.
- Net and Web Art: using the internet itself as a canvas for absurd creation.
- Business as Art: satirizing startup culture through surreal services and products.
- Fun and Experimentation: prioritizing curiosity and creativity over utility or logic.
Absurd.website positions absurdity as a legitimate artistic approach β an invitation to embrace the delightful chaos of the unexpected.
