This project relies on CGI scripts and external files and services previously hosted on proxy.arts.uci.edu. What's available is reconstructed from nideffer.net and the Internet Archive, and it may not be comprehensive. Further description of PROXY can be found on nideffer.net.
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.
