2025: two initiatives from Athens and Barcelona
In 2025, Error 415 Unsupported Media Type supports the Athens-based non-profit arts organisation Vektor as well as the Barcelona-based curator Bani Brusadin.
Both Vektor Athens and Bani Brusadin support critical net-based and digital arts practices that intervene in today’s conversations around technology, politics and society. By providing platforms for these "unsupported media types," both initiatives encourage dialogues and community-building that challenge our understanding of today’s digital landscape and help navigate our increasingly digital world.
Collaborations
In collaboration with Bani Brusadin and Medialab Matadero, Error 417 Expectation Failed presents three projects connecting Error 417’s annual theme, “Scores Against Tech Fascism,” with OpenLAB’s focus on “Weird Futures,” for the OpenLAB conference at Matadero Madrid from 27 to 29 November 2025.
Vektor Athens
Vektor Athens is all about digital culture, media arts, and the exploration of the "digital condition." By curating exhibitions, organizing research projects, and hosting events, Vektor actively engages with contemporary digital art practices that often fall outside traditional media. Vektor’s efforts focus on how technology is reshaping artistic expression and its broader impact on social and natural ecosystems. With a roaming, flexible approach to its programming—without a permanent space—Vektor seeks to challenge the dominant narratives surrounding digital media and offer new perspectives on the role of technology in art. In doing so, Vektor strengthens both local and international networks of artists, curators, and cultural organizations.
Bani Brusadin
With a background in communication studies, cultural production, and creative activism, Bani Brusadin focuses on unconventional forms of communication, technological "dreams and nightmares," and the infrastructures that shape our digital and planetary realities. His curatorial practice interrogates the entanglements between art and technology, exploring how these relationships can offer critical insights into the challenges of the modern world. Brusadin thus challenges conventional notions of what art can be, seeking to engage with topics that reflect the complexity of the contemporary digital landscape. His work helps cultivate a deeper understanding of the social, political, and cultural implications of technology, aligning with the core values of Error 415. And talking about community building; we will never forget Bani's The Influencers festival!
