Mann's WearComps are on exhibit at the Stedelijk Museum, 1998 Nov 28 to 1999 Jan 10

Some embodiments of Prof. Steve Mann's WearComp ("wearable computer") invention from the past 20 years were presented on mannequeins throughout the museum:


The exhibit is a retrospective of past performances, such as ShootingBack, the tools of which are situated on mannequins along with some other artefacts, so that they are re-created as interactive video sculptures.

See also other exhibits of this work, such as the pieces on display in the List Center, one of which

was also used in the week long performance piece Mann did at Ars Electronica, along with his invited plenary lecture in the Ars Electronica Symposium. The performance was called "Sicherheitsglaeser", and some images can be revisited at:
