Transpecies

After having an antenna implanted in his head, Neil Harbisson was considered the world’s first officially recognised cyborg. Neil’s fusion with technology has fundamentally transformed his sense of self. As we live in an era where the boundaries between flesh and machine increasingly blur, Neil discusses humanity’s potential evolution as we integrate ever more deeply with the technology that surrounds us.
