Type: Calls & Submissions
Fee: Free
Discipline:
SPAM New Media Festival invites artists and practitioners working with digital, experimental and emerging artforms to submit work for the 2025 Festival. We seek proposals for creative work to be presented at the Georgetown Steam Plant in Seattle. Potential submissions include, but are not limited to, interactive and immersive works and installations, video and projection mapping, audio and music installations and live performances, artist talks, workshops, demonstrations, and screenings. While we ask that applicants take the venue’s unique qualities into account, submissions do not need to respond specifically to the site in theme or concept.
We see the festival as a vessel/container for holding and germinating artist projects in different stages of recognition and development, and welcome contributions which entangle with, emerge from, or leak into these different nodes of engagement with digital art and culture. As we mentioned last year, for some the points on the map may be of use in situating their submission within the ethos of the festival, but applicants are not limited to the themes and ideas plotted. We are asking for artist contributions which will help us to expand our critical dialogue with new media art, digital culture and technology-driven work.
