— Call for Projects
We are launching our first call for artistic projects: instructions,
scores, how-tos, interventions and practices against tech fascism! 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. Resisting in
solidarity with others and carving out spaces in which we can develop
technological systems that align with collective needs rather than
exploiting us.
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. We encourage proposals from people who are historically
underrepresented in art and technology spaces.

Error 417 Expectation Failed is an independent foundation supporting
radically contemporary Internet art and net-based arts practices. We
encourage open-ended formats, risky projects and explorative artworks
that engage critically with contemporary technology. Our focus lies on
art that addresses the frictions between technology, aesthetics,
politics and social relations to challenge power structures — one hack,
glitch, fail, error, process and experiment at a time.
Error 417 Expectation Failed was launched in 2025 by the artists
!Mediengruppe Bitnik as a infrastructural art project.
