00:00This is how I hear color.
00:13So now you're hearing differences between red and orange.
00:17We do have some very interesting people with us tonight.
00:25With that being said, welcome to Mr. Neil Harlison.
00:34Neil Harlison is an artist in the world's first government-recognized cyborg.
00:37Does that light turn on?
00:39It's not a light.
00:40It's a camera.
00:41It picks up color, because I'm colorblind, so I wanted to have a new sense of color.
00:46But that comes off, right?
00:47No, no, it's a body part, it's implanted.
00:50It really attracted me that he was so different.
00:53Someone told me that I could have an operation or something and see color.
00:57I would definitely say no, because I don't really want to change my perception of color
01:02now.
01:03Everyone's really curious.
01:04Like, what colors are you seeing right now?
01:06It's like a, ooh, like a sine wave that goes up and down.
01:09That two speeches transpose syllable by syllable.
01:12The one on the left is Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream.
01:16The one on the right is a speech by Hitler.
01:18What is your favorite color?
01:19Infrared.
01:20We're going to go to Manel's house.
01:23He wants to be a cyborg.
01:25So I was really interested in the possibility of creating a sensory organ for the sense
01:31of time.
01:32And in a sense, you want to play God.
01:35I feel I'm collaborating with God.
01:37There's also internet connection that allows me to perceive the colors from space and also
01:41to receive colors from other parts of the world.
01:43Sounds fabulous, but why on earth would you want that?
01:45We actually promised each other that if one day it would be possible, we would exchange
01:49each other's eyes.
01:51We are witnessing the renaissance of our species.
01:53It's not science fiction.
01:54It's already possible.
01:55This is happening.
