Unsocial

A performative interface where language decays on entry, evoking an entropy of digital subjectivity "Unsocial" stages the act of writing as a generative performance of futility. Each keystroke appears only to fade - letters drift updwards, unanchored to dialogue, purpose, or permanence. There is no submission, no send button, no audience. The user types not to be heard, but to mark a passing.
Here, language is not preserved but evaporated. The ‘world’ is a ruled, infinite page - evoking bureaucratic forms, school notebooks, or a pixelated blog - yet no submission is received, no reader replies. The cursor moves forward out of habit, not intent. There is no communication.
The UI fragments ("✓ Grammar", "? Comment") parody systems of feedback and legibility, reminders of the inanity institutional writing rubrics and social platforms. Here their logic has no power - no grammar is corrected, no comment returned. The user becomes a ghost in a depopulated system, keying letters into silence.
Unsocial is an anti-social parody - a ritual of futility, a testimony to the entropy of digital subjectivity. It sits between net.art, absurdist theatre, and melancholic interaction design: an interface built for nobody, with no audience, in which the act of writing is both futile gesture and contemplative ghost.
