Garabato -Daniel Fridell

a quieter way of being online.

Why this website?

Because I wanted somewhere outside the noise.

I want to bring back prolonged attention spans. I can admittedly say mine has regressed, but I want to change that.

I believe the internet can once again be an intentional, maybe even a dedicated desktop if this is available to you, place to slow down, think, wander, and connect, not just endlessly scroll.

Social media is built around keeping us mindlessly scrolling: more content, more notifications, more engagement, more noise.

I find that exhausting.

I wanted something different. Just a place to read, watch, look, think, and wander. So I've chosen to make this space a place where my work can exist quietly, a place you can wander, where you can spend as much or as little time with it as you like.

You can read an essay, watch a video, or explore my visual art and things that don’t always need words.

A place with…

  • NO endless feed.

  • NO long carousels to swipe through.

  • NO engagement tricks or algorithms.

  • NO subscription or app required to access my work.

  • NO “comment below, and I'll send you the link.”

  • NO “maze of links leading somewhere else. 

Learn why none of the above work for me here.

If you enjoy my work, I would be pleased if you showed your support by leaving me a tip on Ko-fi, which you can find on the ‘Support Me’ tab.

Otherwise, take your time. Wander around, and thank you for visiting my little corner of the internet.
