[Adminsysters] Applications and follow-up : AMRO26, error417

[adalanerd]

hi all!

just a quick sum of informations following the monthly meeting:

- AMRO: after a first email a month ago notifying us that our proposal 
was still being discussed, they finally rejected our proposal because 
too much in-depth, saying they would contact us after this edition over 
the summer. They would like to invite us to build up the next edition 
with us...

- error406 - netstalgia not acceptable:

    /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? We invite artists, curators and collectives from around the
    world to propose projects that take a clear-eyed view of the past,
    while exploring how internet histories can open pathways toward more
    equitable futures. This open call asks: what protocols, networks,
    archives and shared conditions are needed to build the internet we
    actually want? Respond to netstalgia with error 406 not acceptable./

    /Grants from € 1’500 to € 7’000
    Deadline call for projects: 4 May 2026 (23:59 CEST)
    Jury: Chia Amisola, Olia Lialina, Peter Sunde & Vladan Joler
    Deadline for the works: 30 October 2026/

-> we thought it would be a good opportunity to dedicate some time to 
the maintenance of our infra, the backups and everything. We could also 
bring in some of our artistic/crafts to visibilize invisible labour of 
maintenance work (cf. mara's t-shirt "painful backups and migrations").

-> a draft application was started on the pad for residencies and 
fundings: https://eth.leverburns.blue/p/systerserver-funding#L197

let's try and write a full application before may 4th. Who'd be up for 
it? We can proceed the same way we did for our application to AMRO (a 
dedicated email alias).

tschüss, xo
