Open Call | SIT-PLU Residencies 2027

Our open call for projects Error 406 [Netstalgia] Not Acceptable focuses on the notion of netstalgia: a selective and idealized remembering of earlier phases of the internet. We are looking for projects that reject the longing for a mythic “old internet” and confront the politics of netstalgia head-on.

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...
