[disruptive.harmony.online] is a browser extension designed to create moments of pause within the hyper-connected world.
Addressing the overwhelming demands of the attention economy and inspired by the concept of Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ), the extension activates when users open 16 or more tabs, a number symbolizing digital overload by the system.
The [enter] and [leave] buttons provide seamless control over the extension, reinforcing its function as both a digital tool and an artistic intervention. To return to regular browsing, users are encouraged to reduce their open tabs, echoing the extension’s message of decluttering and focus.
Experience the Project
Technically, the extension tracks open tabs and employs perlin noise functions to generate unique fluid, organic transitions within a grid, mimicking the unpredictable yet harmonious flow of natural phenomena. Users are invited to immerse themselves in this "time-out-of-time" zone, reset their mental state, and optionally capture the unique visual moments as snapshots.
Conceptually, it redefines productivity by inviting users to embrace intentional pauses. By transforming the act of opening multiple tabs into an opportunity for tranquility, the extension challenges the norms of hyper-productivity and digital overload, offering a fresh perspective on the balance between connectivity and well-being.
