Error 417 Expectation Failed
@mediengruppe_bitnik
📅 Hasta el 4 de mayo de 2026.
Ya está disponible la segunda convocatoria de proyectos de Error 417 Expectation Failed: Error 406 [Netstalgia] ¡Inaceptable!
Esta vez, nos centramos en la noción de netstalgia: un recuerdo selectivo e idealizado de fases anteriores de internet. La netstalgia es la gestión de crisis del capitalismo de plataformas disfrazada de memoria cultural. Convierte el cansancio de las plataformas en un renacimiento estético, dejando intactas la extracción, la captura de datos y el control corporativo.
Apoyamos obras de arte que cultiven una visión lúcida del pasado: obras que desafíen una netstalgia que simplemente suaviza la crítica o refuerza las políticas de plataforma existentes, a la vez que exploran cómo la revisión de la historia puede abrir caminos hacia futuros más equitativos.
Nuestra convocatoria abierta pregunta qué protocolos, redes, archivos y condiciones compartidas son necesarios para construir una internet habitable hoy; cómo abordar la gobernanza, la moderación y la sostenibilidad en los llamamientos a la descentralización; cómo crear espacios en plataformas restrictivas para ampliar el margen de acción de los usuarios; y cómo movilizar la migración hacia alternativas ya existentes.
🕳️ Becas de 1.500 € a 7.000 €
🕳️ Abierto a artistas, curadores y colectivos de todo el mundo
🕳️ Fecha límite: 4 de mayo de 2026
🕳️ Jurado: @hotemogf, Olia Lialina, Peter Sunde y Vladan Joler
"Justo cuando los usuarios se sienten agotados por los algoritmos, la automatización de la IA y la consolidación empresarial, la industria reinventa la estética y la esencia de la "vieja internet" como solución... "

We are interested in submissions that engage one of the following editorial themes:
• Designing with AI — AI as cultural and infrastructural system
• Materials That Behave — Responsive, adaptive, or emergent material performance
• Politics of Platforms — Power, labor, governance, and monetization in creative infrastructures
• Post-Digital— Hybrid making across hand, code, and machine
• Designing for Collapse & Continuity — Climate adaptation, maintenance, stewardship
• Creative Research as Practice — Knowledge generated through making and experimentation
We are commissioning in-depth articles (typically 800–900 words) that situate projects, studios, labs, exhibitions, or technologies within broader cultural, institutional, or technical contexts. We do not publish press releases, product announcements, or promotional copy.

Living Room Lectures presents a guest talk by Serena Dokuaa Oduro, AI policy expert and poet, exploring how Black feminist thought can reshape the way we understand and build technology. Drawing from her work in governance and poetry, Serena reframes AI not as neutral innovation, but as something deeply shaped by political and social forces, and asks what it could become if rooted in different values.

"A core part of this course involves students training models on their own faces and bodies, and that's rooted in two issues I think are deeply connected.
The first is data sovereignty. Our bodies and behaviors are constantly being collected, used to regulate, target, and surveil us by platforms and authorities alike. We're told our data isn't ours the moment we share it, and then a distorted, flattened version of ourselves gets fed back through the same systems that profit from keeping us hooked on that reflection.
The second is creative agency. These tools are being developed irresponsibly, most people don't understand how they work, and so whatever gets made with them tends to feel like it belongs to the machine rather than the person. That passivity is just another form of the same dispossession.
Training on your own data is a small but meaningful act of resistance to both dynamics. You're taking the logic of these systems and redirecting it through your own intentions, your own body, your own aesthetic and critical framework. It won't fix the structural problems, but it builds the kind of hands-on, embodied understanding that I think artists and thoughtful practitioners urgently need to bring into this space right now."
