We were impressed by the inventiveness, urgency, and insightfulness of the applications we received in response to our first open call, Error 406 [Tech Fascism] Not Acceptable. The proposals explored powerful forms of resistance, refusal, and subversion: from instructional approaches and how-tos to interventions and collective practices that push back against tech fascism. It is inspiring to see so many projects challenge existing systems in very specific and diverse contexts using strategies like misdirection, slowing down, opting out, and collective reimagination, while building toward technologies that serve shared needs rather than exploit them.

While we regret that we are only able to support a fraction of the many outstanding proposed projects, it is heartening to see how many artists are already actively engaging with these critical questions. We sincerely thank everyone who applied!
