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

[Ashley Ferro-Murray]

--empyre- soft-skinned space--Good afternoon everyone from Festival TransAmeriques in Montreal — funny that 
I’ve just arrived to Canada where I am catching up on this sad news. 

As my parents Tim and Renate have said, Arthur and Marilouise were a part of 
our family circle for years. I fondly remember times with them both in Ithaca. 
As a child I didn’t understand Marilouise’s work, but more her amazing affect 
and attention to details. Later in life I discovered hers and Arthur’s work 
while in graduate school where I discovered how the sharpness of Marilouise’s 
scholarship matched her personality and style so perfectly. I could hear her 
voice through her work. I know that presence will live on — it certainly 
continues to vibrate through the fabrics of my curatorial practice at EMPAC. 

Thinking of you dear Marilouise, 

Ashley

[-empyre-] Hello from Mexico

[Adrian Guzman]

--empyre- soft-skinned space--Hello everyone, I got interested into the field by influence of Jose Luis
Herrador, Ethnobotanist from University of Veracruz, an friend of Terence
Mackena at the time I was studying Artificial Intelligence (1995) and
eventually by influence of Oliver Sacks in his Oaxaca Trip to Mexico, and
by Nobel prize Gerald Engelman by whom I got interested more in Biohacking
and Bioinspired Engineering, which lead us eventually to create Biomimic,
first Mexican Government Public Funded Cluster of Research Institutes
including, Inecol, Langebio, UNAM.

--empyre- soft-skinned space--Hi —

Marilouiae and Arthur were amazing out of the blue editors and publishers
of my artist writings on CTheory and in two subsequent edited books of new
media artists’ — theorists’ collected essays - I’m sure you all treasure
them too. They reached out to me -/ It was all really “mana from heaven” -
a dystopian one at that !I will always be grateful and in their debt. I
remember Marilouise as quiet, elegant, intense, and kind. A careful
listener. Thanks for organizing this tribute, Renate.

 What a shock it was to learn of Marilouise Kroker’s death on Tuesday 
 after an extremely short illness.  Renate and I have so valued our years 
 of friendship and collaboration with Marilouise.  As Renate mentioned, it 
 was very much the influence of Arthur and Marilouise that urged us to join 
 in collaboration for –empyre- and other writing and curatorial projects 
 after firmly keeping our work separate for the first period of our 
 professional lives together, when Renate would work separately in her 
 studio and I would write my stuff across the house in my study, only to 
 meet in the middle of house at the end of the day to share our creations.  
 Marilouise and Arthur helped us to understand that it could be exciting 
 and creative to share our voices in public.  Strangely the other couple 
 similarly influencing us were Helen and Newton Harrison, with Helen also 
 leaving us in April (at 90, with a good fifteen years of more production 
 than Marilouise would be granted).
