The Epoh Gnirb Controversy
The late Norwegian mathematician, Epoh Gnirb, had commissioned in the year 2000, of the Meme-Rider Media Team a work of art that was to house her body in a permanent and persistive state of cryonic suspension.
The Meme Team designed
cryonic device was displayed
in 2001 and was lost shortly
thereafter. Formal inquiries
were made by police, but the
case was dropped due to lack
of evidence. The estate of
Epoh Gnirb claimed a ‘staged
death scenario’. Gnirb, herself
however, never did resurface.

I designed this cryonic suspension device in memory of Epoh Gnirb. Unfortunately, it was purchased by the M.I.L.E. Foundation Family Trust, and whisked away. I do not believe that Epoh Gnirb's body was later put into the dewar system for a permanent persistive cryonic suspension until revival. What I was much more interested in was the text work, done by the Meme Team and myself based on the works of Epoh Gnirb, "Cucurbit Mosaic", using the theme of her so-called 'homunculus integer' as a starting point. When I wrote my book in the series, "The Homunculus Witness, or the Diaspora of Madamadam", it was not a month after the show where the suspension device was on display in Anchorage. I am still quite fond of this piece, and even the fucked-up stories that linger around it like mosquitos on sick children as they lick ice cream cones.
I met Epoh when she came to speak at the University of South Florida, she gave a lecture on her theory of the 'Homunculus Integer'. She gave me a man's e-mail, and I e-mailed him, he wanted to do some projects together and has been using the name Lord Kevin, the Uncanny when doing these projects. But when he e-mailed me that Epoh had died while boating with a friend in the Sea of Norway, I was oversome with grief. I imagined how horrible it must have been to die by freezing to death in water, and compared to her wish to be frozen to preserve her life, in liquid nitrogen.
I wonder how that project for under the rubric of the Association of Autonomous Astronauts by Kevin and Epoh went? Are there any pictures?
