319 Scholes, located in Brooklyn, was a contemporary art gallery devoted to exploring digital arts, digital media, and arts experimentation. The gallery closed in 2013, but leaves behind documentation of its numerous shows over two years, within its website.
The exhibitions in this space showcased work that was really in touch with the current climate of art making and technology. The exhibitions frequently had some interactive component, and were usually wrestling ideologically with how we make work, make meaning, form identity, research, and even socialize in the developing digital realm. They also hosted digital art auctions, IRL meetups of online image sharing forums, and had a robust social media presence.

Hi Vanessa, if you can please add imagery or maybe a link with the quoted work so your research becomes more illustrative. Otherwise looks good.
