Neil Harbisson is more messianic about the possibilities of bodyhacking. Harbisson, who lives in Barcelona, was born with a rare ocular condition that only allows him to see colours in shades of grey. He had an antenna fixed into his skull by a surgeon friend in 2006. The antenna translates the colour spectrum into musical notes and transmits the data to Harbisson through bone conduction. He sees colour as sound. Blue is middle C. . . . He himself feels he has evolved into a post-human condition with the addition of his antenna, which connects him, he argues, more closely with other life forms that share similar cognitive apparatus: bees, for example, which also 'see' ultraviolet. He calls this awareness 'transspecies' and compares it to the transgender movement. 'We have people who are interested in creating new senses and organs, and people who identify as transspecies are starting to realise they are not alone . . . '

@orsino @sophieicchi @veraaler What do you think? Is it good? Bad? Interesting? Bulshit? Or something else?
Dzisiaj są urodziny Neila Harbissona – artysty, który dosłownie słyszy kolory! Dzięki specjalnemu implantowi wszczepionemu w czaszkę potrafi przekształcić światło w dźwięk.

Neil Harbisson - Wikipedia
The Cyborg Antenna is a sensory system created to extend color perception.[43] It is implanted and osseointegrated in Harbisson's head and it sprouts from within his occipital bone. It has been permanently attached to Harbisson's head since 2004 and it allows him to feel and hear colours as audible vibrations inside his head,[44] including colours invisible to the human eye such as infrareds and ultraviolets.[45] The antenna also allows internet connection and therefore the reception of colour from other sensors or from satellites.[19] Harbisson began developing the antenna at college in 2003 with Adam Montandon[46] and it was upgraded by Peter Kese and Matias Lizana, among others.[44] The antenna implant surgery was repeatedly rejected by bioethical committees but went underway regardless by anonymous doctors.[47]
Harbisson has given permission to five friends, one in each continent, to send colours, images, videos or sounds directly into his head. If he receives colours while asleep his friends can colour and alter his dreams.[48] The first public demonstration of a skull-transmitted image was broadcast live on Al Jazeera's chat show The Stream.[49] The first person to make a phone call directly into his skull was Ruby Wax.
CYBORG: A Documentary arrives this April
Neil Harbisson wants to convince the world that technological enhancement of our senses is a force for good. From birth only able to see in black and white, Neil yearned from a young age to experience how others feel the emotive power of colour. When he was 21 he had an ‘eyeborg’ antenna permanently implanted in his skull that translates colour waves into sound frequencies. Neil’s childhood…
