Dear Yukiko, friends, I'm very saddened to hear about Seiko's passing!! She'll be fondly remembered as a pivotal artist / maker / experimenter, who also left a great mark on people, both young artists and the general public in Europe through her residencies and exhibitions. She left many kids in awe at the digital worlds she conjured, and showed a whole new side of Japanese passion and creativity! Very sad.
