Between Dog & Wolf

On an anonymous Internet imageboard, the twilight stretches ominous across time zones. Between Dog and Wolf is a found climate fiction, based on electronic literature with no single author, made of brief, user-generated stories – rituals, personal anecdotes, and urban legends – woven with growing perceptions of imminent threats – environmental catastrophes, epidemics, and planetary apocalypses. In the gloaming of a PC screen, digital ethnographic fragments blend into spurious present-time myth-making. Between Dog and Wolf reflect this collective truth-finding and narrative creation through urban, social, psychic, ecological, planetary conspirational imaginaries of the users.
