Cyberman

  • Release Year: 2001

Plot

Noted documentary filmmaker Peter Lynch directs this look at Steve Mann, a professor at the University of Toronto and a self-proclaimed cyborg. Sporting such gadgets as an "eye tap" which relays exactly what he sees to a webcam and a backpack that constantly keeps him on-line, Mann argues that technology can be used to reclaim our public and private space from the ever-encroaching big brother. Mann is seen passionately arguing over the ethical, political and technological ramifications of his invention to a consistently skeptical public. Lynch also interviews Mann's family and colleagues and famed cyberpunk author William Gibson. This film was screened at the 2001 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

Cyberman is a 2001 documentary movie about Steve Mann, inventor of the EyeTap. It was directed by Peter Lynch, but much of the material in the film was also shot by Mann himself, through his EyeTap. Thus Cyberman may well have been the first film in which the subject incidentally or existentially (i.e. just by being himself) shot much of the material used in the film.[citation needed][dubious ]

The book, Cyborg... was released the same year, and much of the material in the film is based on material in an early draft of the book's manuscript.

Novelist William Gibson appears in the film, in conjunction with Mann's presentation at the TED (Technology Entertainment and Design) conference. Mann and Gibson were both presenters at TED, and the interview takes place immediately following their presentations at the conference.
