We just got some fresh press in and this one sounds extremely interesting. A new documentary about the world’s first human cyborg. Check out the press release below.
Tull Stories is thrilled to announce the release of Cyborg: A Documentary, coming to UK Cinemas 20th September.
Artist Neil Harbisson wants to convince the world that technological enhancement of our senses is a force for good.
Born only being 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, that translates colour waves into sound frequencies, permanently implanted in his skull.
Together with childhood friend, choreographer and cyborg collaborator, Moon Ribas, Neil went on to establish the Cyborg Foundation and the Transpecies Society. These aim to promote the creation of new technological senses, give a voice to non-human identities and defend the freedom of self-design.
In Cyborg: A Documentary, Neil and Moon confront their detractors head on, communicating their controversial ideas about the technological future of humankind. The number of humans becoming ‘cyborgs’ is growing year on year and our species is on the verge of being able to design and re-design itself at will. As Neil says “This is happening!” But is the world ready to listen?
