Initiated within the University of Washington’s DXARTS department, SPAM is a Seattle based experimental arts festival which brings together practitioners working on the fringes and frontiers of new media art and knowledge production. Taking place at various venues across Seattle, the yearly festival consists of a program of exhibitions, performances, workshops and discussions rooted in, or emerging from, technology driven art and digital culture.
