Funded by The Second Life Awards, SPAM Zine & Press’s Brilliant Vibrating Interface project is inspired by Edwin Morgan’s assertion that ‘Poetry is a brilliant vibrating interface between the human and the non-human’. Over the past year, the project has sparked conversation around queer literary experiments in the digital age through a series of dynamic and multiplatform creative outputs and community events based online and in Glasgow. Listen to the BVI podcasts and interviews and download worksheets from the BVI workshops here.

On 23 November SPAM will launch Brilliant Vibrating Interface, a physical anthology and its digital sibling, published by SPAM Press. Uniting several concerns of Morgan’s own writing – queerness, experiment, hybridity and technology – a truly multimedia collection of queer writing can be found in these pages and screens.

The anthology was edited by Kirsty Dunlop, Loll Jung & Ian Macartney and features work by: Maya Uppal, Lauren Sheerman, Rebecca Close, Sophie Taylor, Luke Winter, Fiona Glen, Eleanor Oliver, India Boxall, Nicks Walker, Ernesto Sarezale, Freya Johnson Ross, Irisz Mallon, Maria Wrang-Rasmussen, Georgie du Boulay, Zeo Fawcett.

The launch will take the form of an interactive exhibition, showcasing films, electronic lit works, and software practice, alongside copies of the book for sale, followed by readings and screenings.

Drinks will be available/BYOB. The Accessibility Guide for Many Studios can be found here.

You can now preorder the book at a discount up until 23rd November here!
