Back Into the Loop

Steve Mann, a professor at the University of Toronto, did a project with his students with WearComp, computers equipped with "eye taps," which allowed them to broadcast everything they saw and heard on the Web.

Mann, quoted in Howard Rheingold's Smart Mobs, says:

What my students and I did -- and continue to do -- is something far more
important than just providing "home movies" and "alternative" images for viewing
on the Internet. We are also engaging in a process of cultural reclamation,
where the individual is put back into the loop of information production and
dispensation.
