Absurdity in Making: Tickling Imagined Boundaries
Absurdity in Making is a collective exploring absurdity as a means to challenge norms, bridging reality and imagination. Humans often draw imaginary boundaries across societal layers, influencing behaviors and shaping our world. We target the absurdity arising from the divisions these lines create.
About Absurdity in Making
In a utilitarian society, things are established under the framework of meaning or function. Those things that seem meaningless, contradictory, and illogical are absurd. We are a design collective valuing absurdity, using it to challenge norms and bridge reality with imagination. We seek to discard the functionalist mindset, opting instead to explore and draw inspiration from life's absurdities. For us, absurdity offers a fresh perspective on reality, prompting a re-evaluation of the status quo.
