This Allen Street gallery sets the stage for artists using technology as a medium — in all its beauty and brilliance.
At Bitforms, technology isn’t the enemy of creativity. It’s a story to tell. Here, a community of pioneering artists treat tech not as a tool, but as a medium.
Don’t let the no-frills Allen Street exterior fool you. Inside, the space pulses with ideas. Screens splutter, code gasps, and machines feel oddly human.
You’ll leave this place more fluent in the language of art and tech — and with a deeper appreciation for the poetic potential of pixels and zeroes and ones.
Steven Sacks founded Bitforms in 2001. He’s one of the first gallerists to champion artists working seriously with new technologies. Over the years, he’s built a tight-knit, forward-looking community of some of the most compelling artists working in digital, generative, and tech-based media today.
