http://digitalmuseumof.digital The DiMoDA (The Digital Museum of Digital Art) is a Virtual Reality project from Alfredo Salazar-Caro (Artist, Mexico City) and William Robertson (Technologist, Art Institute of Chicago). I installed their inaugural exhibition at TRANSFER in NYC <http://hyperallergic.com/262249/a-digital-museum-that-can-be-viewed-irl/> and traveled the virtual museum to Miami during the fairs <http://hyperallergic.com/259013/from-the-virtual-to-the-satanic-a-former-pharmacy-hosts-alternatives-to-miamis-mega-fairs/> . They have just received grant funding from Harvestworks <http://www.harvestworks.org/2016-new-works-residencies/> and are working on their second installation in the virtual museum to debut in 2016.
