"Le Pavarotti du HTML" - Le Slovene Stromajer crée des opéras en code
web - par Marie Lechner (Le vendredi 2 février 2001, Libération
Paris, France)

"But beware: Igor Stromajer is also singing the theory of the
Internet!" (Inke Arns; Leonardo Electronic Almanach, Volume 8, N.1,
MIT Press 2000)

"It all started in 1999 when Igor Stromajer earned the peculiar
nickname, the Pavarotti of the Internet, for singing his Oppera
Teorettikka Internettikka, a transcoding of the HTML into song."
(Rossitza Daskalova, CIAC Electronic Art Magazine, Montreal, Canada,
N.15, August 2002)
