Collaborative planetary network event. 150 involved international artists. Contribution and collaboration (performance, poetry, art, video-art) from: Belgium, Lebanon, Chile, Amazzonia, USA, Greece, UK, Brazil, Germany, Spain, and from other countries. In polemic with net-art only as spectacular electronic game on line, "Gates" project increased the real dimension, with contemporaneous installations/performances in real places in far locations of the planet. This project is related to the symbolic meaning of the gate, with its metaphoric, computer science, and telematic, implications: "gates" as ways of transit, as dimension of open, of passages in every direction, at every level (real-virtual, visual-word, art-poetry, critic-art, moving-still, image/text/performance, and more). Creating a new form and structure, that uses e-communication, relationship among persons, art debate, real/virtual body, voice, gesture, as new "materials" of art. In the spirit of performance art, Situationism, Fluxus. Call was directed to experimental artists, poets, art critics, theoreticians, "e-post-Fluxus casseurs", "e-post-post-duchamp-ists (?)". Gates has been dedicated to Pierre Restany, who joined this project.
