Learned this morning that George Fifield, who ran the Boston Cyberarts gallery and festival, died this past week at 72. He was a champion of new media art and was extremely kind to me and supportive of my practice. His gallery was the first place I ever exhibited work.

I'll never forget visiting his home, which was crammed full of art, and him excitedly showing me a Duchamp rotorelief he had collected!

fwiw "a gentle bear of a man who was kind and generous to all who encountered him" is exactly how I would like to be remembered

Oh no! George was a family friend when I was growing up. "A gentle bear of a man" indeed, with a deep rich voice.

Boston Cyberarts had a pretty big impact on me through the time I lived there. Also loved going out to the de Cordova to see the shows he was involved with.
