> Millie Niss, the writer and new media artist, died at 5 a.m. on 29th
> November 2009, of swine flu with complications. Her mother and longtime
> collaborator, Martha Deed, was with her at the time. She had been in
> hospital for four weeks, mostly in intensive care, after picking up the
> virus, which quickly became serious in her case, probably because she
> already had respiratory difficulties as a result of a rare condition known
> as Behcet's Disease. She was 36 years old.

> "Millie's work for me, has always reached beyond the surface of things.
> Managing to communicate an essence of her character and her varied
> intentions successfully. There is a unique sense of humour in much of her
> work, even when dealing with dark themes. A surreal edge, informed by her
> particular views on humanity and all of its, seemingly perpetual
> absurdities. Mixed with a playful, open spirit and a twist of simplicity.
> Her work was and is, more for those not bound by distracting trends - open
> for all. A rare wisdom with an authentic voice in this strange and complex
> world. Good bye Millie..." Marc Garrett.
