Papertrail

Papertrail is an experimental publishing platform that engages in dialogue with hidden infrastructural systems and their effects on visual culture and discursive practices. In an environment dominated by ephemeral digital platforms, Papertrail embraces printed matter as a carrier of counter narratives and prefigurative imaginaries responding to the everydayness of infrastructure.

Papertrail is based in Den Haag (NL) and was founded in 2023 by Apsara Flury (TH/CH) and Livio Liechti (CH).

Cloud Factories: Imagining alternative futures for landscapes threatened by data centres
Papertrail

This interactive workshop will give insights into an ongoing artistic research project focused on the destructive impact of hyperscale data centre construction on landscapes and ecosystems. Inspired by visual and narrative materials unearthed by the research and participants’ own experiences, we will develop a series of zines.
