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’s research spans multiple sites and temporalities, ranging from more-than-human encounters with rural landscapes designated as future sites for data centres to place-based urban experiments with street libraries as tools for post-digital knowledge production and circulation.
Papertrail is based in Den Haag (NL) and was founded in 2023 by Apsara Flury (TH/CH) and Livio Liechti (CH).
