Loud music blasting, crowds of people as excited as Ashley, I walked into the booth where a laptop captures a series of images of me with my toy moustache generating a GIF that was immediately projected simultaneously in the gallery and onto a video billboard in midtown Manhattan.

And this was just the beginning of the most entertaining art event I had been to in months — Art Hack Day at 319 Scholes.
