On Friday, March 21, 2003 at 7:00 PM, the McLuhan Program in Culture and
Technology at the University of Toronto presents an evening's dialogue
between Stelarc, an internationally recognized Australian performance artist
and public intellectual in the area of new media and technology, and Steve
Mann, the acclaimed inventor of the wearable computer and the world's first
photographic cyborg.
Stelarc and Mann have both probed the nature and workings of the body and
mind through technological mediation. The dialogue will be a probe into a
future of awareness, the nature of consciousness reacting to technological
extensions, and the ensuing effects upon individuals, culture and society.
Audience questions and participation are encouraged, and a glogged
transmission of the evening's event as seen through Steve Mann's wearable
EyeTap system will be broadcast to the Ad Astra 2003 Fantasy and Science
Fiction Convention.
This event follows the opening of Stelarc's "The Prosthetic Head" at
Interaccess Gallery.
The event will be held at 330 Dundas Street West, located directly across
the street from the main entrance to the Art Gallery of Ontario.

asap (george@betterhumans.com).
