Om Neil Harbisson

Neil Harbisson is a contemporary artist and cyborg activist, best known for having an antenna implanted in his skull and for being officially recognized as a cyborg by a government. The antenna allows him to perceive visible and invisible colors such as infrared and ultraviolet via sound waves. The antenna's internet connection allows him to receive colors from the room as well as images, videos, music or phone calls directly into his head via external devices such as mobile phones or satellites. Neil Harbisson identifies himself as a cyborg, he feels both his mind and body are united with cybernetics. He does not feel that he uses or wears technology, instead he feels that he is technology. His artworks investigate the relationship between color and sound, experiment with the limits of human perception and explore the use of artistic expression via sensory extensions. In 2010, he co-founded the Cyborg Foundation with Moon Ribas, an international organization that aims to help people become cyborgs, defend cyborg rights and promote cyborgism as a social and artistic movement.
