PEOPLE

James Meier - Owner / Producer

When James Meier first began DJing from a wearable computer mounted to his torso and head, Facebook was brand new, iPhones didn’t exist, and Project Glass wasn’t even a twinkle in Google’s eye. Under the moniker ghettocyb.org, Meier pioneered technology that made him the world’s first cyborg DJ, using an embedded system and head-mounted display. Since the system’s first public appearance in March of 2003, at Meier’s technology-based art party IRQ, it’s been in constant evolution and made him a fixture of electronic music conferences worldwide. Since opening 01system Meier has been busy producing for Toronto's electronic underground.
