Cyborg Art: Color Concert

During his color concerts, Neil Harbisson translates color perception into sound. Rather than playing an instrument, he “plays” colors, amplifying the sounds produced by his antenna for the audience. He can interpret the colors of objects around him or even the colors of people, creating a unique sensory experience that combines art, science, and technology.
