Eike Berg’s Landing Place was One of the first artworks in Hungary reflecting on the virtual space. The work created in 1994 was based on a computer graphic of interlocking squares programmed by Zoltán Szegedy-Maszák in a BBS system. Connected to the computer storing the graphic via a modem device, the virtual space was expanded by one square with each user dial-in, a reference to its infinite nature. In 1994, in a solo exhibition entitled Landing Place at the Liget Gallery, the work was complemented by a site-specific installation, a spatial mapping of the earlier graphic, a negative “zigzag”, as mentioned by Erzsébet Tatai.
