Dmytri Kleiner* is a USSR-Born, Canadian software developer and cultural
producer, he is a co-founder of Telekommunisten, a worker's collective that
provides telephone and Internet services, and an independent researcher
investigating the intersections of art, technology and political economy.
Dmytri lives in Berlin with his wife Franziska and their children Henriette
and Nikolai.

With Telekommunisten, the Art & Economics Group, and Venture Communism, as
well as the related writings and activties, Dmytri Keiner encourages a
critical analysis of the social and economic relations of communications and
promotes the ideal of worker's self-organization of production as a means of
class struggle.
Since organizing the 1997 Plunderpalooza festival of cultural appropriation
in Toronto, Dmytri has been a critic of Intellectual Property, especially of
copyright and has been actively involved in the Free Software and Free
Culture communities, his most recent article on the subject, "Copyfarleft,
Copyjustright, and the Iron Law of Copyright Earnings" extends his criticism
to the Creative Commons and proposes a theoretical alternative license which
prohibits reproduction by means of private property and wage labour.

Dmytri is currently investigating the process of the stratification of the
Internet, especially the process by which peer-to-peer technology is being
marginalized, restricted and replaced by centralized, client-server systems,
extending the analysis he co-developed in the Mute Magazine article
"InfoEnclosure 2.0" and is also developing the first in a series of
mis-communicative artworks titled "For Miss Information Call," as a part of
the Hack.Fem.East exhibition opening on May 9th, in Berlin.
The main product of Telekommunisten, Dialstation, is also currently being
redeveloped. The new version will be released on May 1st.
