  1. Absurd Nr.05 - Eyes Dating Site
    absurd.website/eyes-dating-sit
    A dating platform reduced to eye contact alone, stripping attraction down to one intimate fragment.
    It plays with romance, projection, and the weird minimalism of digital desire.

  2. Wonderment Within Weirdness Has Something a Lot of Media Is Missing: Heart

    There’s a lot of media out there today that looks incredible on the surface. Big budgets. Huge stakes. Flashy action. Multiverse-level chaos. But for all the spectacle, something often feels… off. Empty, even. Like it’s all noise without meaning. That’s where Wonderment Within Weirdness stands apart. And no, this isn’t me gassing myself up. This is me recognizing something I didn’t fully see at first: beneath all the absurdity, the chaos, the wild set pieces, and the multiverse […]

  7. I'm a big Camus fan - a new adaptation of The Stranger by Francois Ozon (in French, of course) will premiere at the Venice Film Festival. It stars Benjamin Voisin as Mersault, and it looks great. Psyched to see this one.

  9. #GuestContribution #Max #Rosenbaum: “The #absurdism or how the #philosophy of the #absurd can #simplify our #life

    Perhaps this #absurdity in the #world can only be confronted through the absurd and not through the #real. Perhaps we should simply follow #Karl #Valentin, the grand master of the absurd: "Every thing has three sides. A positive, a negative and a funny one."

  10. Four years after #HGWells published 'The Time Machine' (1895), #AlfredJarry wrote 'How to Construct a Time Machine' (1899).

    Jarry (pataphysics, Ubu Roi) was a French #Symbolist poet, playwright, and influencer on #Dadaism, #Surrealism, #Futurism, #Absurdism and #Conceptualism. His works inspired avant-garde thinkers and arts movements of the 20th century.

  12. Hello w̶o̶r̶l̶d̶ Set-of-interconnected-self-actualising-machines!

    I intend this to be somewhat of an introduction, although I do realise that it would constitute a rather bizarre greeting in real life. This won't be a personal account, by that I mean I don't intend to post personal content (i.e. about my real world identity). This isn't really for anonymity, despite admittedly being quite a shy person, I think it's more to do with not wanting to attempt a serious explanation of my context, something which I doubt is achievable through this medium. For me underrepresentation is better than misrepresentation, although I understand if people find my presentation here dishonest or unaccountable.

    I'll use this account partly for listening, a sampling spoon through which to experience the soup of conversation and thought. I'll also do some tooting, I like this word, I might have said contributing, tossing new, or maybe reused, ingredients into the soup, but that gives the impression, I think, of some final objective, an endpoint. Most likely, listening will be the larger of these two parts, and at least for the short term, both parts, the whole, will occupy very little of my time. Expect sporadicity and inconsistency!

    I also wanted to say something about what I am interested in, this is difficult since if I just say a lot of words then what is there to relate my meaning, my intentions, to the meaning which you understand? "Language disguises thought" - Wittgenstein. Well after much deliberation and many sleepless nights I decided to... just say a lot of words, although do bear in mind that the following list is just that, merely a collection of words that I, at the time of writing, happened to perceive as having meanings that corresponded, perhaps imperfectly, to topics that I am interested in. Interested does not necessarily mean fully-endorse/believe/would-describe-myself-as/is-knowledgeable-about.
