SPAM New Media Festival began in 2022 as a grassroots experimental arts platform, bringing together practitioners working on the fringes & frontiers of digital arts through exhibitions, performances, & critical discussions.
SPAM's organizers & curators are a collective of artists, researchers, & academics who are bugging the system - imagining resistance narratives against capital-driven media through multiplicity, embodiment, & critical practice.
For SPAM's 2026 iteration we're gathering October 9-11, 2026, at Indexical in Santa Cruz, CA to share the work of artists we love with the greater San Francisco Bay Area community through performances, workshops, & artist talks.
The 2026 lineup features regional projects by Dorothy Santos & Abram Stern, Ava Koohbor, Jean Carla Rodea, & Epoch, alongside the touring projects of Sunken Cages & Rohan Chander.
SPAM 2026 is organized in collaboration with Indexical & SrcMaterial. Indexical is generously hosting the event, supporting the performances, & creating a space for gathering & relationality. SrcMaterial is curating Allaboration, a workshop series focused on technological literacy - with an emphasis on AI, collaboration, & connection in an era of increasingly asynchronous workspaces.
SPAM is an ongoing project of regrowth & persistence. We are committed to creating discourse from the margins, developing pathways of interconnectivity for our future selves.
