Best, Marianne Goldin Founder, Src Material Src Material is a production partner of SPAM New Media Festival -- SPAM New Media Festival 2025 September 12th-14th, 2025 (Seattle, WA, US) Open Call for Creative Work Submissions Deadline: May 16, 2025 5pm PT 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. 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. – Proposals should include: * Artist Statement (up to 300 words) * Explanation of creative work, to be used for the selection process only (500-800 words) * Images which will help festival organizers to best understand and visualize your proposed creative work * Technical requirements, including installation or any other needs specific to your work * Relevant links to documentation of previous and/or proposed work – Submission Requirements Proposal (2-4 pages, PDF) CV and/or portfolio (no page limit) Email to: spamnewmediafestival (at) gmail.com Subject line: 2025 Festival Submission We ask that both are in PDF format and named accordingly. Links to online portfolios may be provided within an uploaded PDF. – Timeline Submission Deadline: May 16, 2025 5pm PT Announcement: late May/early June 2025. – Information Virtual map of the venue: https://my.matterport.com/show/?m=GjGiXgM8oCa More info: https://spamnewmediafestival.com/Call-Out -- Artist Compensation SPAM New Media Festival functions as a grassroot community of art workers and depends on the in-kind donation of venues and other resources from our supporters. We are, therefore, unable to cover travel or transport expenses for participating artists. While compensating artists is an important value of the festival, we are still working hard to fundraise for the 2025 festival, so do not yet know the scale of compensation we can offer artists this year. – Contact Please contact us at spamnewmediafestival (at) gmail.com with any questions regarding the submission process. ###
