Steve "Cyborg" Mann sez,
We've all seen smart buildings, smart lightswitches, smart toilets,
and intelligent user interfaces, but what happens when you have
"smart people"? What happens when you wire up the "intelligence" onto
people?2003 August 14th and 15th we explore what happens when the intelligent
building meets intelligent occupants.The August 14th event will be an intellectual discussion about
the relationship between cyborglogs and buildinglogs.
Three panelists (Maurice Benayoun, Pierre Levy, Steve Mann),
moderated by the Director of the Marshall McLuhan Program in
Culture and Technology, will enter an immersive multimedia space
(a brainwave bath) while discussing the implications of the
post-cyborg age.The August 15th event will be an actual collective (de)consciousness
where the occupant-cyborgs interact with the building, to
create an audiovisual experience from their brainwaves, as part
of a brainwave (de)concert performed by jazz musicians
Bryden Baird, James Fung, Dave Gouveia, Sandy Mamane, and Corey Manders.
