WONDERLISM

Do you remember when technology was magical and not a problem? Wonderlism is a place to wonder: technology as a tool for curiosity, not extraction. Things you touch. Things that listen. Things that don’t want anything from you except a moment of your attention, freely given, and freely returned.

The internet is not a lost cause. It’s a place we forgot how to play in. We’re playing again.

The greatest invention of our lifetime is a planet-scale nervous system connecting eight billion minds, and we mostly use it to argue, to scroll, to be sold to, and to feel bad about ourselves. Somehow we built the dream and immediately started strip-mining it.

We reject what technology has become: killer drones, deepfakes, doomscrolling, rage farms, AI slop, engagement bait, dopamine traps, surveillance dressed up as “personalization”, loneliness machines, parasocial substitutes, dark patterns, crypto scams, hate amplified into algorithms, attention as a commodity, and fake news.

We believe in a different relationship with the screen: it should respond to your body, not your data. It should leave you a little more curious than it found you. Playful, surprising, useless in the best possible way. A reminder that you have a voice, a breath, hands, a tilt, a gaze. That you are not just an account.

SAMMENFALD

A sound has a pitch only because it repeats.

67

MAKULATUR

The camera goes through a photocopier — a binary machine fed a blurred original, so the paper tooth decides which mid-tones print and whole regions flood with toner or starve — and the copy is cut into strips and glued back wrong: shifted, tilted, flipped, some frozen from a moment ago, some torn away to bare paper.
