Štromajer exhibits random objects that the electric poet needs for his work, as well as parts of machines and defunct computer equipment that processed the Unicode poems and contributed to the creation of the book. The author’s basic premise is that (para/non)art resides not only in the idea, in the concept, i.e. not only in the nominal and the declared, in itself, but equally in the tools and machines that produce it. The machines that generate it are an indispensable part of it.
3¦×Fń-Qé3=Miá+ is part of Štromajer‘s years-long process of dedigitalization, from the deletion of his net art works in 2011 to the present, because the only way to liberate ourselves from feudal techno-capitalism is through collective and total dedigitalization.

2. Book · Collection of Poems
The centerpiece of the exhibition is a book of one hundred and one poems co-written by a human and a machine. The poems were generated between 2013 and 2018 by semi-automatic conversion of .jpg and .gif image files from the author’s deleted net art works [1996-2007; 2011] into text form using the Unicode Encoding Standard.

Štromajer razstavlja naključne predmete, ki jih električni pesnik potrebuje za svoje delo ter dele strojev in odmrle računalniške opreme, ki so procesirali njegove unikodne pesmi in sodelovali pri nastajanju zbirke poezije. Avtorjevo osnovno izhodišče namreč je, da (para/ne)umetnost ne biva samo v ideji, v konceptu, torej ne zgolj v nominalnem in deklariranem, v sebi sami, ampak enakovredno tudi v orodjih in strojih, ki jo proizvajajo. Stroji, ki jo generirajo, so njen nepogrešljiv, sestavni del.
3¦×Fń–Qé3=Miá+ je del Štromajerjevih večletnih dedigitalizacijskih procesov, od brisanja njegovih spletnih del leta 2011 do danes, saj je edini način, da se osvobodimo fevdalnega tehnokapitalizma, kolektivna in popolna dedigitalizacija.

2. Knjiga · zbirka poezije
Osrednji del odprtja razstave je predstavitev zbirke poezije, knjige s sto in eno pesmijo, ki sta jo skupaj napisala človek in stroj. Pesmi so nastale med letoma 2013 in 2018 s polsamodejno pretvorbo .jpg in .gif slikovnih datotek iz avtorjevih izbrisanih medmrežnih del [1996-2007; 2011] v besedilo, ki uporablja unikodni kodirni standard.
