Robert Cheatham - "Robert Cheatham, who edited Perforations and was critical to the avant-garde/theory mavens in Atlanta, died recently. I was looking through my Linkedin account recently - I never used it - and found this earlier digital debris; reading it now, it takes on a doubled meaning which I should have realized at the time, that of illness and worse, broken texts... So this is a form of media archaeology and a testimony as well to a friend who published an early book I wrote on avatars, as well... utterly sad over this - so I wrote -" ____ Robert Cheatham, In Memoriam http://www.alansondheim.org/forRC.jpg I joined LinkedIn and ended up not using it. But I went into it this evening, and found this series of messages, mostly from me, to Robert Cheatham, who ran Public Domain. Robert wrote back, briefly, I lost track, his last post, short and, now, sad, below. He died recently and I miss him terribly; when I was in Atlanta, I knew him well. Azure also met him, and it's upsetting, this short chain of messages, the very last between us. I'm not sure what else to add, this chain has been so very tenuous, Robert was so very brilliant, I think he is still with us, still with me. Just finding this remnant, posting it here ... robert cheatham robert cheatham 1st degree connection 1st artistic director at Public Domain, Inc.
