Noderunner, a wireless game he co-created about chasing down open WiFi nodes, was awarded the Ars Electronica Golden Nica for Net Vision in 2003. Yury co-founded and co-organized Spectropolis, a wireless festival in conjunction with the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the Downtown Alliance. He teaches as an adjunct professor at the Parsons School of Design in the Design Technology MFA program.
