00:00This is how I hear color.

00:13So now you're hearing differences between red and orange.

00:17We do have some very interesting people with us tonight.

00:25With that being said, welcome to Mr. Neil Harlison.

00:34Neil Harlison is an artist in the world's first government-recognized cyborg.

00:37Does that light turn on?

00:39It's not a light.

00:40It's a camera.

00:41It picks up color, because I'm colorblind, so I wanted to have a new sense of color.

00:46But that comes off, right?

00:47No, no, it's a body part, it's implanted.

00:50It really attracted me that he was so different.

00:53Someone told me that I could have an operation or something and see color.

00:57I would definitely say no, because I don't really want to change my perception of color

01:02now.

01:03Everyone's really curious.

01:04Like, what colors are you seeing right now?

01:06It's like a, ooh, like a sine wave that goes up and down.

01:09That two speeches transpose syllable by syllable.

01:12The one on the left is Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream.

01:16The one on the right is a speech by Hitler.

01:18What is your favorite color?

01:19Infrared.

01:20We're going to go to Manel's house.

01:23He wants to be a cyborg.

01:25So I was really interested in the possibility of creating a sensory organ for the sense

01:31of time.

01:32And in a sense, you want to play God.

01:35I feel I'm collaborating with God.

01:37There's also internet connection that allows me to perceive the colors from space and also

01:41to receive colors from other parts of the world.

01:43Sounds fabulous, but why on earth would you want that?

01:45We actually promised each other that if one day it would be possible, we would exchange

01:49each other's eyes.

01:51We are witnessing the renaissance of our species.

01:53It's not science fiction.

01:54It's already possible.

01:55This is happening.
