Postcards From the Edge
We only have a few clues to who this brotha is--his website is decidedly opaque on the matter, but we decided we'd go ahead and give him a nod and figured maybe he would find us.
A project supported by the National Black Programming Consortium, Afrogalactic Postcards is the serial web project of a space traveler, philosopher, and generally out-there artist who has condensed his vision into small visual capsules playable online. We like the Afrofuturistic impulse and wouldn't mind seeing this guy riff with Rammellzee or maybe Beth Coleman at MIT.
Among his "Cool Facts About Intergalactic Matters":
And how come my postwaves travel farther when my pet goldfish is nearby? It's a mystery.
How come I can hear cabbages cry and the incubators can't?
How come the mothership always knows when I fall in love?
The cosmos is so vast. I am so small.
The mothership takes for ever to make an orbit; and by the time it reaches its destination, no one even remembers why they took the journey in the first place.
We say keep traveling the galaxy and don't forget to write.
