🌍 Inglese  |  👨‍💼 Artista

Neil Harbisson is a pioneering artist and cyborg whose work explores the boundaries between human perception and technology. Born in 1982 in Spain, he was born with achromatopsia, a condition that renders him completely color-blind. To overcome this, Harbisson developed a unique way of experiencing colors through an electronic implant called the "Eyeborg," which translates colors into audible vibrations that he can perceive through his skull. This innovation has allowed him to "hear" colors and extend his sensory capabilities beyond natural human limits. Throughout his career, Harbisson has used his cyborg abilities to create innovative art projects and raise awareness about the integration of technology into human life. He is known for his public performances and exhibitions where he demonstrates how electronic enhancements can augment human perception. His work challenges traditional notions of sensory experience and pushes the boundaries of the possible in art and technology. Neil Harbisson is also an advocate for cybernetics and digital rights, emphasizing the importance of blending technology with human identity. He has been recognized worldwide for his efforts to promote a more inclusive and technologically integrated society. As a figure bridging art, science, and activism, Harbisson continues to inspire discussions about the future of human evolution and the potential of cyborg identities.
