hojun song

In his Lift12 talk, Hojun Song tells the story of his first satellite, which will take off from Kazakhstan this August. Hojun also shared with us his struggles and his plans for the future. Inspiring!

Hojun Song thinks kids will soon ask their parents to offer them satellites, and that an open source initiative could make it more affordable and realistic than you think. He is an artist and dreamer, and he might very well achieve his goal as early as next year, sending a satellite collecting data from the cosmos and transforming it into information artists could use back on earth. He will be speaking at Lift Asia in the "Networked objects, from wifi rabbits to ubiquitous cities" session alongside Rafi Haladjian, Adrian David Cheok and Julian Bleecker.
