Exploring the Intersection of Art and Technology

Hi there, I’m Daniel, the hands and heart behind Postdrafts. Born in Germany, raised in the Caribbean, I’ve always been captivated by how different worlds can collide and intersect – just like art and technology. From directing short films, performing on stage, or writing stories, my creative pursuits have always embraced diversity and the freedom to delve into multiple mediums. Postdrafts is my digital platform for exploring these intersections, channeling the things that I have seen, heard, and experienced into a project that blends technology with art in innovative ways. It’s a reflection of who I am and what I aspire to create.

Here, things are never truly finished; they grow, evolve, and take on new forms just like we do. Postdrafts is a collection of ideas, a recognition that while nothing is perfect, there’s beauty in letting our creations go, allowing them to exist and breathe in the world.

You’ll encounter two main components on your journey through this site:

The Digital Garden is the digital representation of my notebooks, a dynamic repository of my thoughts and ideas. It’s a web of interconnecting notes, a knowledge base that evolves and grows with me. If you’re looking for a more detailed explanation of what a Digital Garden is, check out this post by Maggie Appleton.

Visual Fiction is my creative playground. This space is dedicated to showcasing AI art projects and other creative works that explore the nature of technology and creativity. The form may change, but what remains is the mix of striking visuals with thought-provoking text.

I hope you’ll find something here that resonates with you, sparks curiosity, or offers a new perspective. If you ever want to discuss an idea or share a thought, don’t hesitate to reach out! And if you’d like a reminder when new pieces hit the site, feel free to sign up for my newsletter. While updates are infrequent, rest assured, I’ll never send more than one newsletter a week.

Thanks for stopping by!
