Neil Harbisson
Neil Harbisson is a Catalan-raised British-Irish cyborg artist and cyborg rights advocate who has described himself as the world's first legally recognised cyborg with The Guardian calling him the world's first cyborg artist. International attention grew after he received permission to appear in his UK passport photo with an antenna implanted in his skull, a device he considers a new sensory organ. His artistic and activist work centres on expanded perception, the development of artificial senses and the rights of people with technologically extended bodies.
