![]() ![]() ![]() To capture the final photos we 3D printed a doughnut shaped prop and built a set that locked it into place. More on the kitten itself! How did you get it to create these crazy poses? He was into it and I purchased the domain the next day. I told him about my idea to create a delightfully distracting website featuring the kitten in the doughnut slowly filling your screen with infinite pastel rainbows. The domain and the code came along after I was introduced to a developer at a roller derby game. One of my favourite images in the collection was of a kitten sitting in the Apple doughnut emoji. It playfully juxtaposed classic kitten photography with emojis against minimal pastel backdrops. What came first, the domain, the code or the pictures?Įmoji Kittens was the body of work that followed that diagnosis. When my mysterious agony was diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia I was like “fuck it, now I’m going to work on whatever project I want to.” I became strangely obsessed with this quirky genre of art. Sleep was impossible and late one night I came across The Useless Web. We’re seeing more and more dynamic digital experiences with webVR, AI/ML, and visually creative experiences made with p5js and THREE.Back in 2015, I started experiencing these unpredictable episodes of excruciating facial pain. Their lovely interactions that keep users on their sites somehow give a hint of what people need or look for. Unlike mine, their curations are better in terms of the ‘uselessness’ of the websites, so check it out!įor me, those useless websites were actually great sources of inspiration and references. This site will lead you to a useless website in their archive. Yes, the title of this posting came from this website. Still in a digital format though, but this website prints your log of music on a receipt. It’s inevitably lovely when digital meets analog. This reminds me of the chrome dino game with its simpleness, but I’d give more points to checkbox race by the fact that it brought familiar checkboxes into a part of the game. If you’re down for something random as your WFH playlist, what about heading to your dream city on a ride? I actually stayed on the website quite a long time.Īnother one with a similar concept - WindowSwap allows you to open a new window somewhere in the world. I should confess my standard of ‘useless’ is vague, and this might look somehow quite useful. It’s a 21st-century version bottle message. They’re messages from random people out in the world, and you can catch them to read, or you can throw one by yourself. You’ll see a small planet with flying paper planes. I’ll speak highly of this one for its unique interactions and experiences. And it will give you a QR code, and as you scan it with your mobile, now you can pour beer into the empty glass that you see via the mobile! Yeah sounds fun, but you actually get nothing. This has been one of my favorites, but seems like it’s down :( But to keep a record of it, when you go into their website you’ll see a beer tap, with an empty beer glass. I’m sure you’ll end up staying on this page for quite a long time! Cybeer This is my favorite one, and honestly, I want to meet a creator of this website and ask what made him/her come up with this idea, and how it was built.Īs you leave your cursor on any part of the website, it’ll pull up a photo that someone is pointing at your pointer. Hope I can encounter many more fun projects, but also keep seeing them live. While I started writing this posting, I realized many of them I used to know are now closed, which is understandable since most of them are the result of pure experiments, not for profit. ![]() ![]() Those are some of the treasures I’ve found, and I’m planning to keep this list updated when I find a new one. The successfully useless websites ended up making me stay on the website longer to try them out or registered themselves with me for a long time. But personally, there are ones that stand out more to me - the useless websites created without the purpose of serving businesses, promoting oneself, goods, and services, more for experimental purposes. Hidden treasures in web space that are created for pure joy, not profit Lovely, creative, and useless websites for your inspirationĪs an interaction designer, it’s a pure joy to find a great website with great storytelling, motions, and graphics. ![]()
