Neil Harbisson

Neil Harbisson is a pioneering artist and cyborg who extends his senses through technology. Born without the ability to see color, he has implanted an electronic device—a cybernetic antenna—in his skull that translates colors into sounds. This innovation allows him to perceive colors beyond human vision, including infrared and ultraviolet. Harbisson's work explores the blending of art, technology, and human perception, challenging traditional boundaries of sensory experience. Recognized internationally, he advocates for the integration of technology into human life and the concept of cyborgism—humans augmenting their bodies with technological enhancements.
