Wild Papers
Unpredictable as the Future

Wild Papers is a new online publishing series edited by speculative writer and lecturer Ingo Niermann and commissioned by the Institute Art Gender Nature HGK Basel FHNW. Wild Papers constitutes a collection of concise scenarios that affect the future of art, technology, gender, and nature.

Why “wild”? The modern Western world has banned, projected, idolized and appropriated the wild as the other. It has confused the wild with the provocative and the rude. 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. The Wild Papers series doesn’t aim to predict the future—it draws on the future’s inherent unpredictability to escape more of the same.

Wild Papers are published on a monthly basis.
