Alexander Galloway
April 2003
Alexander R. Galloway is an artist and computer programmer. As the founding member of the Radical Software Group (RSG), he is the creator of Carnivore, a networked surveillance tool based on the notorious FBI software of the same name. The New York Times has called the work “conceptually sharp, visually compelling and completely attuned to the political moment.”
Alex published a DVD (with Cory Arcangel) titled Low Level All-Stars which presents the largely unknown history of video graffiti from the Commodore 64 computer. Alex's first book, PROTOCOL, or, How Control Exists After Decentralization, will be published later this year by The MIT Press.
Gate Pages
Every month from March 2001 to February 2006 an artist was invited to present their work in the form of a “Gate Page” on artport. Each of these pages functioned as a portal to the artist's own sites and projects.
Wherever necessary and possible, these works are made functional through emulation and reconstructions from the Internet Archive. Not all of them have been restored to their original state and their conservation is ongoing. You can also view the original Gate Pages archive to see how they were presented at the time of their creation.
