Experience the extraordinary world of Neil Harbisson, the renowned Cyborg Artist, at the upcoming Creative Networks event hosted by Leeds Arts University. Join us on February 20, 2024, at our venue in Woodhouse as Neil Harbisson delves into the intersection of biology, technology, and art. With an antenna implanted in his skull, Harbisson has expanded his perception to include visible and invisible colors, such as infrareds and ultraviolets, through audible vibrations. He can even receive colors from space, images, videos, music, and phone calls directly into his head via an internet connection.

Harbisson identifies himself as a cyborg, considering himself part-human and part-technology. His thought-provoking artwork explores themes of identity, human perception, the relationship between sight and sound, and the use of new sensory inputs. In addition to his artistic pursuits, Harbisson co-founded the Cyborg Foundation and the Transpecies Society, organizations that advocate for cyborg rights and the freedom of self-design.

This captivating talk will demonstrate that actively participating in our own biological evolution is no longer a mere theory – it is an option. By merging ourselves with technology, we can become the architects of our own bodies and perceptions, enhancing our survival capabilities both on Earth and in outer space. Could this be the renaissance of our species?

Join us at 5:30 pm for drinks in the foyer. The auditorium doors will open at 6:15 pm, and the talk will commence promptly at 6.30 pm. Creative Networks is Leeds Arts University's premier professional events programme, offering a platform for high-profile speakers to share their career journeys and insights into industry developments. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with fellow professionals and gain inspiration from industry-leading speakers. Admission to this event is free.

The overall size is relatively small and the style is postmodern. The mummies in the museum are worth seeing.
