Neil Harbisson is a British-born contemporary artist, a
well-known Cyborg activist who owns a plantation in his skull and is officially
known as Cyborg by the government. The antenna allows it to see visible and invisible colors by
sound vibrations in its skull including infrared and UV rays as well as
receiving colors from space, photos, video, music or phone calls directly in
the head via an Internet connection.
Harbisson identifies
himself as Cyborg. he feels that he is technology, as a transition, he
no longer feels 100% human. His work explores identity, human perception, the
relationship between vision and sound and the use of artistic expression
through new sensory inputs.
In 2010 he co-founded the Cyborg Foundation with Moon
Rebass, an international organization aimed at helping humans become Cyborg,
defending Cyborg's rights and promoting the art of Cyborg. In 2017 he
co-founded Transpecies, an association that gives voice to people who do not
have a human identity and defend self-determination.
