Armin hired me as a staff writer for Telepolis in 1997.
In those days, being a staff writer meant that I was required to write
a certain number of words each month for a fixed and fairly generous
sum. This kind of arrangement has become quite rare these days, where
most magazines an
I am not eloquent at writing obituaries because they always seem
inadequate to me but what you outlined seems familiar. It was fantastic
to get Armin to speak at our OpentechSummit '15. For me he represented
an age of digital reconnaissance, and his presence pointed at the

As a former journalistic colleague of Armin with Telepolis from 1996
to 2002 I would like to add that without Armin we would not have been
able to define what reporting about net politics was all about. It was
not the then usual neutral reporting about the newest technological
developments, but it

Thank you to everyone who has shared their words about Armin on this
thread... I half expect that he might chime in. I posted the below on
Rhizome.org yesterday, and Felix suggested that I share it here as
well:

writer, and cura
Armin was one of those people you meet in one place and then you realize
he was everywhere. Like for most, we crossed paths in fleeting circuit
of the early 90s - in one city after another (we met in Munich), in one
debate after another, in one publication, in one café after another ...
a kind of j
Many thanks Felix. I my mind' eye I recall all those
occasions when we talked, laughed, argued Armin
is already missed

This is very sad news. The worrying started when Armin could not come to

This hard to believe. Armin with his big, booming voice, his incredible
curiosity and enthusiasm, will be sorely missed. I remember going out with

How can I add to all your touching, perceptive and informative tributes

How sad. Not that long after tactical media comrade Nathalie Magnan
passed away.
Armin was very much of my generation, post-punk, squatters DIY
activism that presented itself so self-evidently as an art form.

Hello.
Thanks Felix for writing such a beautiful note.
Me and Hans just learned about his severe cancer diagnosis yesterday
from a mutual friend.
We had been friends and sometimes partners in work (Kingdom of Piracy)
in the 90ies and early 2000s. Later on, we ended up not getting along
so well
This is so very sad!
A guy who was so full of live and argumentativeness! It's hard to
imagine that his roaring voice will no longer interfereâ¦
One thing that distinguished him from many other academics was his
passion! He cared about more than his own career and he did not mind
giving more tha
Armin Medosch died yesterday, on the day two months after being
diagnosed with cancer. I'm sure many people on nettime knew him very
well. He was a long-time mover and shaker in the media arts and
network culture scene in Europe. Indeed for much longer than even
nettime exists.
