#1WkNoTech was a netprov run in 2014 and 2015, led by Mark Marino and Rob Wittig. Participants "pretended to use no technology for a week and documented the 'experiment' obsessively in social media".[1][2] Participants used Twitter, a fictional organisational website, a fictional Facebook page and private google docs to organise the storytelling.

#1WkNoTech has been described as a parody of "a situation that often occurs on social media where a Facebook or Twitter user loudly declares that they have had enough of the information overload and are going offline for a while to recuperate".[3] Instead of going offline, the participants of #1WkNoTech spend time on the very sites they have disavowed.[4] The netprov was well-suited for "partial reading" since its aesthetic experience depended on the mass of tweets rather than a particular storyline.[5]
