This series is part of Beckmann’s series Imaginäre Architektur. The works were presented at “ars electronica 1980“ in Linz, Austria.
“Beckmann’s virtual architectural objects embedded in real landscapes can be seen as the highlights of his computer art period. In 1980, he accomplishes this period with a series of works called Metropolis 2080 – the vision of a future form‐cosmos which even today appears current.” [cf. Archiv Otto Beckmann, The Work of Otto Beckmann, 2011]
