Grindhouse Wetware

Grindhouse Wetware is a biohacking collective based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, known for their innovative work in the field of biohacking. The group was founded in 2012 by Tim Cannon, Shawn Sarver, and Ryan O'Shea with the goal of developing and implanting technology into the human body to enhance human capabilities.

History

Grindhouse Wetware was established in 2012 with a focus on creating implantable technology to augment human abilities. The group gained attention for their pioneering projects such as the Northstar V1 and Circadia devices, which are designed to enhance sensory perception and monitor biological functions.

Projects

Northstar V1

The Northstar V1 is an implantable device developed by Grindhouse Wetware that functions as a biomagnet. It is designed to provide users with the ability to sense electromagnetic fields and detect the presence of metal objects.

Circadia

Circadia is another notable project by Grindhouse Wetware, which involves the development of an implantable device that can monitor the user's body temperature and transmit data wirelessly to external devices.

Impact

Grindhouse Wetware's work has sparked discussions about the ethical implications of human augmentation and the boundaries between technology and biology. The group's projects have also inspired other biohackers and researchers to explore the possibilities of merging technology with the human body.
