*Alexei Blinov: Hero of the Cybersphere (1965-2019) ***

by Simon Worthington @mrchristian99 – co-founder Mute


I use Cybersphere rather than Cyberspace as Alexei occupied the digital
space just above the earth's crust with WiFi and lasers and not only the
imagined Cyberspace of the virtual — World on a Wire (Welt am Draht), or
the Internet.

I knew Alexei in the late 1990s/2000s in London and Berlin, whether
running Open Wireless aerial building workshops together at the
University of Openness in London's East End — a self instituted
university — or at the BerLon

‘PicoPeering Agreement' meeting in Bootlab or at 'Wizards of OS' FOSS
conference — both in Berlin, where Alexei would be demoing the 'Hive'
mesh-networking WiFi system.

Alexei was always the one driving things forward, quiet crazily — with
wires popping out all over the place, a continual work-in-progress, but
importantly with the courage that makes a true artist — that of not
needing to inhabit the persona of the artists or make works that need to
look like art.
