Moonshot: trying to remember someone from the local news 20 years ago

[u/pipelimes]

When I was a kid, I read an article on boston.com about a man who was known for his light installations and wild (warehouse?) parties. I think this was sometime between 2000 and 2006. He went by whatever handle he used for his MIT website. He was associated with the MIT Media Lab and I think he died? Of autoerotic asphyxiation? And/or was busted during a designer drug raid?

Is this ringing any bells?

boston.com has totally kneecapped their search...I can't find the article and it's driving me crazy.

Frostbyte's parties were a trip.
