Almost infinite ... by Holger Friese (1995) is an early work in net art.

“It is difficult to determine where an image or information comes from. In this case, Holger Friese's site is the result of local interpretation (the viewer's computer) of the data coming from elsewhere (the server). Accordingly, this intense blue is almost infinite, both in its extent and in its localization, and the environment in which it occurs can give one the feeling that it is not from a (cinematographic) exterior, but from a border crossing (computer science). appears here.

The work Near me from (April 18, 1999) is the bogus homepage of a shopping system.

"Friese shows users their behavior in a way that initially follows horizons of expectation and then subverts them, which provokes reflexive self-orientation in and between sides (or levels of play) of his projects."
