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.
