The Cyborgs Have Arrived

We clearly need this (JOKING). Why would we want to extend our nervous systems when we can’t handle what we have?

It was 12 years ago, states a recent wmagazine.com report that “Warwick declared he was on a mission to become the world’s first man-turned-machine. He began this undertaking, dubbed Project Cyborg, in 1998, when he had a microchip embedded in his body, something that had never been attempted before. Surgeons inserted a glass capsule containing several micro-processors into Warwick’s arm, and for the next nine days his presence was recorded by computers throughout the university’s cybernetics department.”

I wish so much that people were more like this now. Sometimes I think the internet has destroyed everything. Hop on the Soul Train forever. It’s about people actually getting together in person. JFC

Just got this nice poster from Baqi who played Ernie in
the Radio Free Blissville Short.
The tagline speaks for itself. Click to enlarge. He also did some music as A.B. Do Well. You might say he’s multi-talented. I’d say you are right.

2011 ITP End of the Year Show

This always delivers. Kids building crazy stuff and then performing with their inventions in public.
I never miss it. It is Sunday in Williamsburg. Mercury is in retrograde so expect some technical glitches, but it will all be alright in the end because we learn from our glitches. We have no choice.

The regular ITP NYU show is here.

The Mummies

I recently became aware of the work of The Mummies. They were a garage surf band from California in the 80s. They apparently invented the term “budget rock” and refused releasing music on CD until after 2000. They also would only perform and record on damaged equipment that they found lying around. They also dressed up like Mummies.

Here is their Rendition of a Devo classic Uncontrollable Urge.
