Igor Štromajer – Is this Art? Is This Life?
Igor Štromajer’s recent work combines video, much of it taken from the web, that then is distorted, altered, and overlaid.
Nevertheless Štromajer persists…and produces an uncanny mixture of web ‘snapshots’, coded play, and seemingly irrelevant theoretical discourse. Having been one of the first Internet artists to combine video, performance and the web, he deleted much of his previous works from his server in 2011 (see http://www.intima.org/expunction/) an interesting solution to a problem that plagues much of first generation net.art – its incompatibility with new web norms. In fact these works can still be downloaded from the artist’s website, allowing others to ‘view them privately’ or put them on their own servers…thereby leaving the act of digital art conservation to its audience.
www.intima.org offers further territory for exploring the Life (and perhaps the Art) of Igor Štromajer.

Notes on the work ‘The Last Territory – On Solitude’ by Igor Štromajer
I have two questions: Is this Art? Is this Life?
