Satellite of Love
2012-10-16 11:18
2011 Øredev sent up a rocket in space. 2012 Øredev continues
by launching a satellite.
Hojun Song describes
himself as an artist and engineer, and he truly is both. Only an artist can
think of an open source satellite initiative. And only an engineer can pull it
through and make it all happen. Or perhaps, is it the opposite? This will be up
to you to decide. Hojun closes the 2012 Øredev developer’s
conference with his remarkable journey on building, launching and shooting out
a satellite - into universe, all for the sake of love and peace, and to be the
greatest man alive.
Hojun Song comes from South Korea and has a background as an engineer
in electrical and computer science in combination with a career as a
professional “ski-bum”. After breaking all his legs Hojun finally
decided to make the world a better place. Since 2005 he has exhibited his art
in Africa, Asia, North America, South America and Europe, and he has worked
with large brands as Nike and Motorola. Though, all this will be history when
the world will experience OSSI, Hojun’s ‘Open Source Satellite
Initiative’, funded by t-shirts.
