B4’s Memory Port

The port is 1 ½ in. x 2 in. and is made of painted silver and black resin with silver metal elements with flashing blue lights. It is embedded into foam skin (2 ½ in. x 3 ¼ in.) painted gold metallic to match Data’s skin with hair remnants. Tom Spina made the display using a partial cast Data bust altered to allow him to mount the piece.

Worn by Brent Spiner as B4 (split-screen photography) in the feature film Star Trek X: Nemesis, which opened on December 13, 2002. B-4 was an earlier, less developed prototype android to Data whose disassembled head and parts were found scattered on Kolarus III as a trap for Captain Picard. B-4 featured a primitive positronic brain that could not fully process Data's memories, though Data attempted a memory transfer through this port before his own destruction. After Data perished while destroying the Scimitar, B-4 was reactivated so that Picard could tell him of his brother's death, but Picard sadly departed the meeting when his attempts to explain what Data meant to them only confused B-4. With his future uncertain, Picard had noted some of Data's downloaded memories began to surface as B-4 began to sing the song "Blue Skies", which Data had performed at Will Riker and Deanna Troi's wedding. This port was attached to Brent Spiner’s rear head and blended into his hair. The port is 1 ½ in. x 2 in. and is made of painted silver and black resin with silver metal elements with flashing blue lights. It is embedded into foam skin (2 ½ in. x 3 ¼ in.) painted gold metallic to match Data’s skin with hair remnants. Tom Spina made the display using a partial cast Data bust altered to allow him to mount the piece.  Heritage Hollywood and Entertainment Signature Auction #7332, Lot 89601, Wednesday July 15, 2026 - Michael Westmore.
