Igor Štromajer Commemorates Ritualistic Self-Deletion
· HOLO – editorial and curatorial platform, May 2024
“Igor Štromajer aka intima commemorates the 13th anniversary of his ritualistic Expunction performance on social media. From May 11 to June 16, 2011, the Slovenian media artist perma-deleted 37 of his net art pieces produced between 1996 and 2007, including acquisitions by the Centre Pompidou, Ars Electronica, and the Computer Fine Arts Gallery. Purging one artwork per day, Štromajer erased his personal history, asking questions about temporality, access, and memory as deception.”
