Neil Harbisson wants to convince the world that the technological enhancement of our senses is a force for good. Since birth, he has been only able to see in black and white. Yearning to experience how others feel the emotive power of colour, at the age of 21 he had an ‘eyeborg’ antenna permanently implanted in his skull that translates colour waves into sound frequencies.

Neil’s childhood friend Moon Ribas has collaborated with him on his journey. A dancer and choreographer, she has had implants in her arm and foot which allow her to perceive earthquakes from all over the planet as vibrations in her body.

Together they have established the Cyborg Foundation, promoting the creation of new technological senses, and the Transpecies Society, which gives voice to non-human identities and defends the freedom of self-design.

With a significant online and media presence with many followers worldwide, the pair are prominent figures in a movement of humans becoming ‘cyborgs’, which is growing year on year.

In Carey Born’s engaging documentary Neil and Moon confront their detractors head-on, communicating their controversial ideas about the technological future of humankind.

Our species is on the verge of being able to design and re-design itself at will – but what does it mean for the future of humankind?
