Deadline: June 17, 2025
Submission Fee: Free
Eligibility: The application is open to artists worldwide, collectives, curators, arts initiatives, exhibition spaces, online platforms, and developers of software and hardware — basically anyone exploring the possibilities of contemporary, networked technologies as art and their significance for society.
About the call: Error 417 Expectation Failed is looking for 10 scores against tech fascism. Artists, curators, and collectives worldwide are invited to apply with project ideas, instructions, how-tos, interventions and practices that engage with the contemporary condition. This call for resistance is not about global fixes or sweeping victories — it’s about finding ways to challenge the current systems with the means available: misdirection, opting out, and pushing back. Respond to Tech Fascism with Error 406 Not Acceptable.
Jury: Hito Steyerl, Nora O' Murchú and Sam Lavigne
Deadline for the work: 30 November 2025
What we are looking for:
The aim of this call for projects is to reflect on, resist, and ultimately undermine the power dynamics imposed by tech fascism. Projects should be developed and realised in your specific context and must be implemented as a score, a simple set of instructions that can be shared online.
We encourage proposals from people who are historically underrepresented in art and technology spaces.
What you get: Grants from € 1500 to € 7000
