My Favorite Cyborg


Rokeby lives and works in London. In 2003 Rokeby transformed himself into a cyborg for the project Memex: A Cyborg Pilgrimage in The Age Of Amnesia. Commisioned by inIVA (Institute for International Visual Art), Rokeby embarked on a 40-day pilgrimage around London, recording his journey on his wearable computer as he mapped the sacred sites of London.
Pioneering the use of brain/computer interaction, he connected a portable EEG brain wave monitor to his wearable computer, using his brainwaves as an interface to control his computer and generate music.
