20. Can code be sexy? Can the deep intimacies of code lead to personal trauma of the most exhilarating kind? Igor Stromajer (Slovenia), creator of the Intima Virtual Base, is convinced that code is the very manifestation of what our human imagination pursues in the state of desire, and has developed an extensive body of work based on his research into 'tactical emotional states' and 'traumatic low-tech strategies.' Military tactics are in fact a common theme throughout many of the works on the site, and the careful maneuvering of the code in a project such as Ballettikka Internettikka Part Two is likely to induce a traumatic state, if not in the human experiencing it then at least in the computer processing it. Stomajer's intoxication with code is not purely Dionysian, but the asceticism he claims for his own is only relative to the high technological complexities populating the rest of the net art world. Visit www.intima.org to experience his particular brand of low-tech ! solutions for inducing radical emotions. http://www.intima.org

Code is sexy.

If code is sexy, then I must be one over-sexed bastard.
Code is creeping obesity.

"down there"?!?! Did you say "down there"?!!!?!!!!
(I don't think this is the intellectual banter the Charlie Rose round table was reffing about blogs. Why? Is there something wrong with my BLOG?)

I meant 'in a hierarchical ranking'?

Well, I think it can be sexy like a well designed object can be sexy. Unfortunately, a lot of the folks that write really sexy code are not particularly sexy themselves :-(

but I thought we "are" what we "do". God, all my philosophies are going under the knife right now! Brain surgery! That's what I need!
