Subject: Steve Mann & Sterlac, Toronto, March 21
Date: Sun, 16 Mar 2003 15:43:32 -0500

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.

**IMPORTANT** We must reserve tickets in advance, so please RVSP with me 
asap ().
