Bitforms gallery
The bitforms gallery is a gallery in New York City devoted to new media art practices.[1]
History
Founded in 2001, bitforms gallery is engaged in the visual discourse of new media culture, with a contemporary focus. The gallery’s program draws upon a diverse range of disciplines and intellectual perspectives while maintaining a clear progressive thread. Supporting mid-career and historic figures as well as emerging artists, bitforms gallery works with a roster of artists who participate in leading international exhibitions.
