We are excited to announce the selected projects of our second open call, Error 406 [Netstalgia] Not Acceptable: Disnovation.org (@npub125t…2zye), Lola Odelola (@npub1p6g…nzhd), Ruy Cézar Campos, Long Tran, Martha Root, Angelissa Melissa, Iz Paehr, Yufeng Zhao and Richard Lewei Huang (a.k.a. Switcheristic Telecommunications).
The selected projects examine and reimagine the uneven distribution of power embedded in internet standards. They recover overlooked contributors to internet histories, expose and subvert deeply rooted hierarchies, investigate the political and material continuities of network infrastructures, develop alternative tools that acknowledge the environmental costs of digital technologies, and question the inherited conservative logics that still impact online spaces.
The projects will be presented in an online exhibition in winter 2026/27.
For all details: https://error417.expectation.fail/406/netstalgia-not-acceptable/selected-projects
The jury — @npub1mug…wzha, @npub1g8n…kqzh and [@thecreatureslab](https://bird.makeup/users/thecreatureslab ) — selected eight projects out of over 330 applications from around the world. While we regret that we are only able to support a small fraction of the many outstanding proposals, the breadth and quality of the submissions we received speak to the urgency of these questions. We were impressed by the wide range of artistic approaches and critical perspectives they brought to these issues.
Thank you so much to everybody who applied!
