Cyborg Enables Color-Blind Artist to Hear His Palette
excerpt
"Neil Harbisson was never a fan of Mark Rothko
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Rothko>. Or any abstract artist for
that matter. Harbisson's extreme color blindness - a congenital
condition called achromatopsia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achromatopsia> - dulled even great works
based on shape and tone rather than pictoral image.
But now his life - and his art - have been transformed by a device
called the Eyeborg, which enables him to perceive color by sound, and to
- quite literally - "compose" paintings (see his self-portrait, right,
and others here)." <http://www.harbisson.com>
