At Airport Gate, a Cyborg Unplugged (2002)
- anotheryou 6y agois there any documentation on what exactly his setup is?
- kick 6y agoHis websites are filled with documentation for what it used to be, but I can't remember the links to the really juicy stuff. His setup circa-1997 (I think) was pretty much entirely documented with reasoning for every piece, and it was fantastic. He also has some modernized stuff on Instructables: https://www.instructables.com/member/SteveMann/ https://www.instructables.com/member/SteveMann/
- boudin 6y agoIt remembered me of a similar story at a McDonald restaurant in France. It's actually the same person: https://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/07/18/mcdonalds-staff-denies-physical-altercation-with-cyborg-scientist/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/andygreenberg/2012/07/18/mcdona...
- matheusmoreira 6y ago> the best way to settle this may be for McDonald’s to release its own surveillance video footage of the incident–an ironic possibility given that the dustup seems to have started with the staff’s own concerns over recording Isn't it interesting? Authorities like to surveil everyone but hate being surveilled themselves. Steve Mann coined the term for the idea of surveilling authorities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance
- ciymbpol 6y agoDisappointing reading a 2002 article without follow-ups. I tried searching the web and the Candian court cases database canlii.org. Perhaps this was settled out-of-court?
- schappim 6y agoDo you think this would still happen today?
- icedata 6y agoI once drove through the border from Canada to the US with Steve. He was wearing his headset. He explained what it was, the guard said "you can't come in here with that". I managed to assuage his concerns. This was around 2014.
- kick 6y agoThat's amazing! I really wish he'd write an autobio-like book describing all of the social challenges he's encountered with his gear.
