About

Zach Gage is a game designer, programmer, educator, and conceptual artist from New York City.

His work often explores the powerful intersection of systems and social dynamics,
through both interrogating existing systems in digital spaces, and framing entirely new systems through games.

An Eyebeam Alumni, Apple Design and Game of The Year Award Winner, and BAFTA Nominee, he has exhibited internationally
at venues like the Venice Biennale, the New York MoMA, The Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, XOXO Festival in Portland,
FutureEverything in Manchester, The Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw, and in Apple stores worldwide.

His work has been featured in several online and printed publications, including The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine,
EDGE Magazine, Rhizome.org, Neural Magazine, New York Magazine, and Das Spiel und seine Grenzen (Springer Press).

In games, he is best known for SpellTower, Ridiculous Fishing, and Lose/Lose.
