Zhang Ga
January 2002
Zhang Ga is an artist and director of the Netart Initiative, a loosely knit, open source-based, hub-styled, forum-oriented, action-enabled consortium. Zhang Ga attended art school in Beijing, (West) Berlin and New York City. He has exhibited in Germany and America in ephemeral domains as well as tangible spaces; organized conferences as well as digital salons on network-based art practice; and served jury duties for new media art grants. He is more interested in the nuances of making neon signs than displaying the currents of electricity. Zhang Ga lives and works in NYC where he is a faculty member of the MFA Design and Technology Program @ Parsons School of Design; he also is a visiting lecturer @ Computer Graphics and Interactive Media @ Pratt Institute.

This project was meant to run in RealPlayer 8, using a .smil file retrieved from the Internet Archive.
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.
