Mike “Schwann Cybershaman” Kawitzky
Mike “Schwann Cybershaman” Kawitzky is a
columnist,
sci-fi writer, and
independent filmmaker who directed
Cognition Factor working with
Terence Mckenna and Dennis Mckenna.
He has been owner of
Headspace Studios (Pty) Ltd since 1998
and is author of
Journey to Everywhere which documents the evolution of
cyber-consciousness via social networking from a uniquely South African
viewpoint.
Twenty years ago, way back in the primordial soup of the early Network
in an out of the way electromagnetic watering hole called USENET,
Mike entered the previous millennium’s virtual nexus of
survival-of-the-weirdest via an accelerated learning process calculated
to evolve a cybernetic avatar from the Corpus Digitalis.
Now, as Schwann Cybershaman,
he has filmed rocket launches and
solar eclipses for South African Astronomical
Observatories and produced educational programs for the South African
Large
Telescope (SALT). Latest efforts include videography for the
International Astronautical Congress in Cape Town October 2011, and a
completed, soon-to-be-released gonzo autobiography.
