Who is this?

Carlos Draper Giggs

I was born on a Saturday at 5 a.m., and that experience laid the foundation for my devotion to Berlin techno. Spanish omelet connoisseur and Software engineer. I ate an arugula salad with Parmesan when I was 13 and wrote about it on my blog.

Welcome to my website

What is going on?

Internet is broken. It is centralized, controlled and deprived of creativity and experimentation. We helped it grow and become an unbearable place and now we must create our own network of livable websites and places we can call digital home. Distributed networks, shared culture, a life without algorithms that decide what we do and who we are. Uglyness is the new resistance.

What should we do now?

Start building something and start sharing it with real people. Send me an email. Send me a postcard with your favorite photo. Let's exchange CDs and digitalize them for ourselves. Let's help each other quit Spotify, Instagram and TikTok. Support your favorite creators. Let's help build real communities online and offline.

Where can I find you?

You can find me in many places. You can subscribe to my newsletter on Fika where I send articles every 2-3 weeks. I'm on Mastodon but I'm not very active at the moment, however I'm there. I'm also on Lomography uploading analog photos regularly. You can also send me an Email and I will try to respond as soon as possible.

Uglyness is the new resistance
