Intima Virtual Base
Institute for Contemporary Arts, Slovenia
Single, structurally equal to all, and endless in the microstructure shows the totality and disconnectedness of Intima in her mirror image. One, split into two is compatible with the life of Intima. The magic structure of one and the obsession with individuality inspires the ritual beauty of polarity which is shown on the altar of code. The Intima code is presented by a mathematical microstructure.
The circle is drawn and in the circle there is a whole world. There is a world of tactical guerrilla communications and a world of impossible radical emotions, but Intima is the zone of their co-existence.
Igor Štromajer - intimate mobile communicator

Intimate Statement
I believe in intimacy, individualism, emotions, frustrations, traumas, artificial, communication, impossibility, mobility, montage, radicality, sensibility, silence, strategy, tactics, tears, orgasm, concept, pleasure, fantasies, philosophy, transfer, utopia and angels.
I do not believe in media, tourism and the end.
Wasn’t it in the idea of the code, which lives solely from a person’s projection, and which despite its boundless submissiveness remains exasperatingly withdrawn upon itself, that one might find what the imagination seeks in desire and heightened transport? Surrender yourselves to the ascetic, renounce all wordly things. Abandon yourselves into the arms of passion. Code, love and passion are very closely related, because they all hinge more or less on realisation of strategy in some form or other, or in its pleasure-taking. And the intoxication is exquisite - it is not true, my love? Code is never chaste, one should keep all innocent buffoons steered well away. People who are not prepared well enough for code should never be allowed near it. Yes, code is dangerous. If it’s chaste, it’s not art.
