Not-so-silly Millie: An appreciation of Millie Niss
Spork image
Newly co-published by Furtherfield and The Hyperliterature Exchange: an appreciation of Millie Niss, the writer and new media artist, who died in November of last year.
“One thing which came across from Millie’s correspondence, as well as from her own work and her occasional online commentaries, was her sense of perspective about new media art… Her insistence on clarity and user-friendliness, her desire to reach out to an audience of “ordinary” people whenever possible, was one of the things which made her voice such a distinctive and refreshing one in the new media world. ”

So very sad…….I remember chatting with her and getting ever so lovely comments and encouragement in 2002…and of course staying in regular contact since then.
Thanks Ed for doing this…..you are a good person…and have always worked to keep the fires hot. Millie deserves this (and more).

Sorry to hear about this. She was a sweetheart, and did some really interesting work.
