 ALLTOGETHERNOW: EXPLORATIONS IN DIGITAL ART AND VIDEO New World School of the Arts' first 2012 exhibition, Alltogether Now: Explorations in Digital Art and Video showcases artists from the NWSA college program that are presently working in electronic-based media.

Together under one platform, the pieces exhibited aim to visually and interactively communicate the current trends in digital aesthetic and technology. The curator of the show, Carlos Gallostra - NWSA faculty, drawing and painting - highlights "This work is about construction and replacement in our environment. It deals with the idea of using materials to give them another purpose and significance. How we create imitations of wood and other materials to somehow replace them and how it affects our environment and future advancement in return."
