Amy Alexander
September 2002
Amy Alexander has worked in film, video, music, computer animation and new media. She holds a BA in Communications and Film from Rowan University and an MFA in Film and Video from the California Institute of the Arts. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego. Since 1996, she has been working primarily in net art and software art, exploring dynamic processes, temporal structures, net politics and net culture. Much of her recent work has been in live Internet performance and software art, playing with the relationships between new media and early abstract animated filmmaking, as well as the juxtaposition of geek culture and pop culture. Amy's Internet projects include plagiarist.org, theBot, netsong (with Peter Traub), and The Multi-Cultural Recycler. Her net art performance projects include B0timati0n and Netaesthesia. Amy's work has been exhibited on the Internet and at venues including SIGGRAPH, Ars Electronica, ISEA, Steirischer Herbst, Transmediale, The Webby Awards, disinfo.com, Borderhack, Net.congestion, the European Media Arts Festival, Read_me 1.2, and Yahoo.

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.
