Cyborgs, Moon Ribas and Neil Harbisson.jpg

Artists Moon Ribas and Neil Harbisson are founders of the Cyborg Foundation. Ribas has implants in her feet that allow her to feel earthquakes, which she translates to dance and drumming. Harbisson, the first recognized cyborg, was born seeing in grayscale and now experiences color through soundwaves and can take phone calls in his head. Ribas and Harbisson are part of the Grinder Movement, a community of people that focus on implanting technology into their bodies to become transhumans.
