What is FUTILE.ch?
FUTILE.ch is a digital design experiment exploring the absurdity of our online habits. In an era where social media algorithms compete to hijack our attention, this project offers a radical alternative: the infinite scroll, stripped of all content. Inspired by the concepts of digital detox and social critique, this website transforms a compulsive gesture into an artistic performance. Futile.ch invites you to waste your time with elegance and precision. Why scroll? For nothing. And that is exactly where the beauty of the futile lies. This net-art project questions our relationship with the digital void and the fleeting satisfaction of perpetual motion.
Why do you keep scrolling?
Because the gesture is automatic. Because scrolling leads to more scrolling. Because waiting creates the hope that something might finally happen.
Behind the absurdity: a subtle critique
By hijacking a daily habit, FUTILE.ch questions our relationship with time, attention, and the way platforms capture our gaze through infinite scrolling.
An absurd website made in Switzerland
Born in Switzerland, this minimalist project celebrates the beauty of a pointless gesture. No ads, no tricks — just deliberately crafted digital emptiness, with a touch of humor.
