YPC SPACE is inviting Ingo Nierman and Chus Martinez to introduce the online publishing project “Wild Papers,” and discuss frameworks for experimental writing, cultural and linguistic translation, and what it means to run wild. “Wild Papers” constitutes a collection of scenarios that affect the future of art, technology, gender, nature and all the interrelations among these fields. Authors from different backgrounds contribute short texts, scripting an idea or outlining a proposition to imagine a world as if they were seated next to you. The modern Western world has banned, projected, idolized, and appropriated the wild as the other. Monocultures, monopolies, speculative bubbles, filter bubbles, OCD, addictions … when the Western world “runs wild,” it’s not because natural impulses grow rampant but because domestication enforces compulsive repetition. Wild Papers doesn’t aim to predict the future—it draws on the future’s inherent unpredictability to escape more of the same.
