it is sad news indeed, i hope it will be archived somewhere. and written about. i agree with giselle, it's vital that the early history of net.art gets recorded - multiple times, and in multiple discordant voices. we see so many situations of younger artists "discovering" things that we were all doing 10+years ago; of course everyone should and will make their own discoveries, but not so that previous work gets invisibilised.
