12 days to go. Our open call 'Error 406 [Netstalgia] Not Acceptable' is open until 4 May, 2026 → https://error417.expectation.fail/406/netstalgia-not-acceptable/open-call

Error 417 Expectation Failed is looking for projects that reject the longing for a mythic “old internet” and confront the politics of net nostalgia head-on. The internet is broken, but was it ever whole?
