Natalie Bookchin
May 2003
Natalie Bookchin is an artist whose current work focuses on the intersection of art, the Internet, politics, and computer games. Her most recent project, Metapet, an online game commissioned by Creative Time in NY in association with HAMACA in Barcelona, was launched on May Day, 2003. In 1999–2000 Bookchin organized net.net.net, an eight-month series of lectures and workshops on art, activism, and the Internet at CalArts, MOCA in LA, and Laboratorio Cinematek in Tijuana. She is based in Los Angeles and teaches at CalArts.

The original Metapet is no longer online, but it can still be partially viewed in the Internet Archive, and more information about the project is available at bookchin.net/projects/metapet.
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.
