SPAM New Media Festival

For its third iteration, SPAM New Media Festival 2025 is taking place at Georgetown Steam Plant. As we join the efforts of those remaking the building as a space for community art and culture, we are thinking about what custodianship and curation might mean in terms of looking after Seattle’s iconic “industrial cathedral”. Bringing together over 30 practitioners working from a postdigital perspective, SPAM’s 2025 program of installations, performances and discussions presents the work of an international community of artists, musicians, technologists, and thinkers. Organized and curated by our team of community art workers, this year’s selection of works includes mediations on borders, on commons, on deep time, and on bodies, a video game about caretaking, a VR experience about climate, and a surveilling balloon. We have slime moulds, sink holes, post-apocalyptic landscapes, and something lurking in the boiler. Join us for a weekend of critically engaged, experimental, and research focused new media work. Doors open at 5pm each day, with live performances happening Friday and Saturday nights. Please visit our website at spamnewmediafestival.com to learn more about this year’s installations, performances, and participating artists. SPAM New Media Festival 2025 is supported by Georgetown Steam Plant, DXARTS, SrcMaterial, 4Culture, and Student Technology Fee.
