Cyberman, is about a genius computer geek at the U of T who created the world's
first wearable computer.
-- Globe and Mail
It's a visually intricate look into the head of the world's
first cyborg: inventor, performance artist, privacy advocate, and
University of Toronto professor Steve Mann. Shot on a melange of
formats, including Mann's "Eyetap" Digital Betacam that's "constructed
from laser light," "Cyberman" is portraiture as hacking, getting
"under the hood" and trying to find out what makes a machine run.
Here, humor and naiveté meet social agitprop activism: it's a "Roger
and Me" for the William Gibson generation.
