[-empyre-] In memory of Marilouise Kroker 1943-2018

[Ana Valdés]

 Very sad news indeed. She and her husband were pioneers and in love with
the work and research they were engaged with.
In the time of fast IT money they kept their integrity and their
independence.
I have all their books, important milestones in the history of the
virtuality.

> Marilouise and Arthur Kroker have been vital parts of our personal fiber
> for the past twenty years. It has been their courage and trailblazing
> efforts at personal collaboration that provided us the beacon of example
> for us personally.  Tim’s common work and writing for CTHEORY Multimedia
> with the Krokers has been one of the personal and artistic highlights of
> his career.  Marilouise was ripped from Arthur so quickly and cruelly.

> We send our heartfelt condolences to Arthur at this time from the entire

your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will always
long to return.
— Leonardo da Vinci
