Some things are worth paying attention to.
Not Absurd is an independent creative practice dedicated to digital curation. Driven by curiosity, it discovers, collects, and shares ideas, objects, and digital resources through its independent publications.
(01) THE PRACTICE
Curiosity is where it begins.
There is no shortage of interesting things in the world.
Ideas that challenge the way we think. Objects that invite a closer look. Digital experiences that inspire new possibilities.
Finding them takes curiosity. Recognizing what makes them interesting takes attention.
Curation is the practice of looking closely, choosing deliberately, and bringing worthwhile discoveries to a wider audience.
Born out of a genuine love for this process, Not Absurd creates independent publications dedicated to exploring subjects of interest and sharing what is discovered along the way.
(02) THE PUBLICATIONS
Three independent explorations.
Different subjects, connected by a shared practice of discovery, selection, and presentation.
Observe
An archive of well-designed objects and spaces, dedicated to discovering and appreciating design in the physical world.
Explore ObserveDesEngs
A curated resource for design engineers, bringing together resources and inspiration at the intersection of design and engineering.
Explore DesEngs(03) THE COMMITMENT
An expectation of something good.
Every collection carries an implicit promise: that the time spent exploring it will be worthwhile.
Not Absurd takes that expectation seriously.
From what is selected to how it is presented, the intention is simple: to create publications that reward the attention they receive.
The rest is in the work.
(04) CONTACT
Open to the occasional collaboration.
Not Absurd is primarily dedicated to its own publications, but remains open to select collaborations that align with its interests and expertise in digital curation.
