Industry leaders and composable visionaries shaping the future of brand experiences

Neil Harbisson
Meet the world’s first officially recognized cyborg. Born completely color blind, Neil Harbisson now “hears” color through an antenna implanted in his skull—turning data into experience in the most personal way possible. At ContentCon, Neil will take the stage to explore how technology can transform human perception, identity, and creativity. His story blurs the line between biology and machine, challenging how we think about personalization, artificial intelligence, and the digital experiences of tomorrow. Expect color, curiosity, and a whole new way to imagine what’s possible.
Neil Harbisson
A Catalan-raised, British-born contemporary artist and cyborg activist best known for having an antenna implanted in his skull and for being officially recognised as a cyborg by a government. The antenna allows him to perceive visible and invisible colours via audible vibrations in his skull including infrareds and ultraviolets as well as receive colours from space, images, videos, music or phone calls directly into his head via internet connection.
Harbisson identifies himself both as a cyborg; he feels he is technology, and as transpecies; he no longer feels 100% human. His artwork explores identity, human perception, the connection between sight and sound and the use of artistic expression via new sensory inputs.
In 2010 he co-founded the Cyborg Foundation with Moon Ribas, an international organisation that aims to help humans become cyborgs, defend cyborg rights and promote cyborg art. In 2017 he co-founded the Transpecies Society, an association that gives voice to people with non-human identities, defends the freedom of self-design and offers the creation of new senses and new organs in community.
