Online Art Project
Bodybuilder and Sporstman Gallery, Chicago, Il.
2004

Bodybuilder Web Cam is an online project by Huong Ngo and Mark Tribe. It served as the home page for the Bodybuilder and Sportsman Gallery in November 2004. This project takes the name of the gallery literally by appropriating and enlarging a web cam image from a bodybuilding gym. Because the gallery changes its splash page every month, and because web cams often go down, this project is ephemeral and unstable. Here are three versions of the project:

1. A recreation of the original splash page that shows what the page looked like, but uses a sample image instead of a live web cam image.

2. A recreation of the original splash page on this server that uses a live web cam image.

3. The actual Bodybuilder & Sportsman Gallery web site.

The image below is a screen shot from the web cam:
