Все мы иногда грустим, сомневаемся в собственных успехах, считаем, что в будущем нас не ждет ничего хорошего. В такие моменты мы даже можем сказать, что страдаем от депрессии. Но проходит время и жизнь налаживается. Мир снова обретает краски. И мы опять становимся полными сил и энергии.
Чем не повод похвастать, что сам себя смог вытащить из депрессии за волосы? А все эти нытики, которые лежат пластом, ничего не делают и пьют антидепрессанты — просто бесхребетные тряпки, которым не хватает силы воли. Ведь на самом справиться с депрессией так просто! Так ли это? Конечно, нет. Реальность, как всегда, сложнее, чем кажется на первый взгляд.
Художник Нил Харбиссон родился с полной неспособностью различать цвета, но сегодня устройство на его голове превращает цвет в слышимые частоты. Вместо того чтобы видеть мир чёрно-белым, Харбиссон может «слышать» симфонию цветов и даже слушать лица и картины.
Meet the cyborgs. Neil Harbisson hears in colors through an antena attached to his skull, and Moon Ribas choreographs earthquakes with a sensor in her elbow. «Whats it like to be a cyborg» explores how two of the first human cyborgs in the world listen to sounds and dance to the rhythm of earthquakes. Neil, visual artist and composer, and choreographer Moon are the founders of the Cyborg Foundation and talk about their personal relation with cybernetics, and how technology changes their perception of life. At the end of the talk, they also do a short music performance using their cybernetic body extensions. Presented by Lila Pla Alemany.
Neil Harbisson, became the first person recognized by a government as a cyborg. Harbisson was born with achromatopsia, a condition that only allows him to see the world in black and white. Since he was 20 years, he installed an electronic eye («eyeborg») into his head that allows him to listen to colours. Moon has been using other cybernetic devices such as the speedborg, the 360º sensory extension and the seismic sensor to extend her perception of movement and applied this to her artistic work with pieces like Waiting for Earthquakes.
Neil Harbisson and Moon Ribas are the founders of Cyborg Foundation, an international organization that seeks to extend the humans senses by creating cybernetic body extensions, to defend the rights of cyborgs, and promote Cyborgism.

Living with an antenna mounted to your skull might seem absurd for most of us. Neal Harbisson has been doing so since 2004, and is often called the worlds first cyborg. He fights for the rights of cyborgs and the freedom of every human to design his/her body. His work raises the question: Should we continue to adapt our planet to us, or should we as humans adapt to it? This is just one of the core questions he will be discussing with Stephen Sackur during the One-on-One ses-sion at the St. Gallen Symposium.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
