and has been the keynote speaker at more than 25 scholarly
and industry symposia and conferences and has also
been an invited speaker at more than 50 university Distinguished
Lecture Series and colloquia. His work has been shown in numerous
museums around the world, including the Smithsonian Institute, National

Edinburgh, Tuesday 27 June 2000), Museum of Modern Art (MoMA in New

He is renowned for his work with the WearComp (wearable computer) and WearCam (eyetap camera and reality mediator), and was the first to keep a web log of his visual experiences (thus inventing the CyborgLog, also known as a "glog"). He received his PhD degree from MIT in 1997 for work including the invention of Humanistic Intelligence. He is also inventor of the Chirplet Transform, a new mathematical framework for signal processing, and of Comparametric Equations, a new mathematical framework for computer mediated reality. He is currently a tenured faculty member at the University of Toronto. Mann is also the inventor of the hydraulophone, a musical instrument that runs on water and is currently being installed as a sculptural form in public spaces.
