("Seeing things in a different light" ), BBC, 19 January 2005. * Bannister, Matthew. (Outlook ),''BBC World Service'', 23 January 2012. * ("Colourful artist: on a slightly different wavelength" ), ''The Irish Times'', 5 May 2008.〕 and for being officially recognized as a cyborg by a government.〔Brooks, Richard. ("Colour-blind artist learns to paint by hearing" ), ''The Sunday Times'', 24 February 2008. * Miah, Andy / Rich, Emma. (''The medicalization of cyberspace'' ), Routledge (New York, 2008). p.130 ISBN 978-0-415-37622-8 * Tibballs, Geoff.

New York, June 2008 * ("Cyborgs and Stem Cells" ), ''Research TV'', 18 January 2005.〕 His antenna uses audible vibrations in his skull to report information to him. This includes measurements of electromagnetic radiation, phone calls, music, as well as video or images which are translated into sound.〔 His wifi enabled antenna also allows him to receive signals and data from satellites.〔Rawle, Tom ("EXCLUSIVE: Human cyborg who HEARS colour is using antenna to 'see' SPACE" ), ''Daily Star'', 24 April 2015〕 Since 2004, international media has described him as the world's first cyborg〔Radnedge, Aidan. ("World's first cyborg" ), ''Metro'', 2 December 2004.〕 or the world's first cyborg artist,〔Jeffries, Stuart ("Neil Harbisson, the world's first cyborg artist" ), ''The Guardian'', 5 May 2014〕 for expressing himself artistically through a new sense created by the permanent union between cybernetics and his brain. In 2010, he co-founded the Cyborg Foundation, an international organisation that helps humans become cyborgs and promotes cyborgism as an art movement.〔García, F.C. ("Nace una fundación dedicada a convertir humanos en ciborgs" ), ''La Vanguardia'', 1 March 2011.〕 == Early life and career == Harbisson is the son of a Catalan mother and an Irish father. He was born with achromatopsia, an extreme form of colour blindness, which only allows him to see in grayscale. He grew up in Mataró in Catalonia, Spain, where he studied music and art〔FC "Més de 4000 espectadors ja han vist els Pastorets que acaben diumenge" ''Capgros'' 12–19 February 1999〕 at various schools.〔JV "Alumnes del Campeny representen Terra Baixa" ''Crònica de Mataró'' 16 May 1998〕 He began to compose piano pieces at the age of 11〔Mas, Pere. ("Neil Harbisson, ciborg de colors" ), ''Catalunya Ràdio'', 25 August 2009〕 and, at 16, began studying fine art at the Institut Alexandre Satorras, where he was given special permission to use no colour in his work. His early works are all in black and white〔Brennan, Ciarán. ("When what you see is not in colour" ), ''The Irish Times'', 5 May 2008.〕 and these were the only colours he used to wear.〔Bryony Gordon. ("From black and white to colour . . . eyes opened to sound of socks" ), ''The Independent'', 13 January 2005.〕 At the age of 18, Harbisson climbed a tree in Mataró to save three trees from being felled.〔Ferran, Helena. ("Un «cyborg» català al Regne Unit" ), ''El Punt'', 5 December 2004.〕 He lived in the tree for several days,〔de la Fuente, Antonia. ("Barones rampantes de Mataró se instalan en árboles para impedir que los corten" ), ''La Vanguardia'', 27 May 2001.〕 supported by over 3,000 people who signed a petition to maintain the trees.〔"Penjats pels arbres" Front page of ''El Punt'' 26 May 2001〕 After days of protest, the city hall announced the trees would not be cut.〔Ferran, Helena. ("Famós a Mataró per < In 2001, Harbisson moved to Ireland to finish his piano studies at Dublin's Waltons New School of Music. In 2002, he moved to England to study music composition at Dartington College of Arts.〔Martinez Arias, Alberto.
