Neil Harbisson, the British contemporary artist and cyborg activist, has successfully won a battle to have his passport photo include his ‘eyeborg’ device. Harbisson was born with a condition that means he can only see the world in black and white, so he had the eyeborg device attached to the back of his skull, where it loops over to sit just above his eyes, acting as a ‘third eye’. The eyeborg encodes colours as musical notes which vibrate in his skull, so Harbisson can experience them, and of course paint them. Indeed he can see colours beyond those the human eye can manage. Harbisson is also a campaigner for cyborg rights, and argued that the eyeborg was a part of his body, not just a mere piece of technology – and therefore should be included on his passport photo. And it’s an argument with the British Passport Authority that he won, Sky News reports, with Harbisson officially allowed to have his passport mug shot show his implant.
