Перевод: Нил Харбиссон — художник, живущий в Нью-Йорке. Нил не страдает серьёзной болезнью, от которой нет лекарства, но у него есть проблема с восприятием цветов. Он полностью не различает цвета! На самом деле он видит разные оттенки серого, чёрный и белый, но не видит других цветов. Это необычное состояние, но для Нила, который хотел стать художником, оно было ещё и очень неудобным. В 19 лет он поступил в колледж изучать музыкальную композицию. Во время учёбы он придумал решение своей проблемы с дальтонизмом. С помощью команды учёных он разработал устройство, которое может преобразовывать цвета в звуки. Нил воспринимает изображения прямо в голове в виде звуков, а затем может их «рисовать»! Он считает, что «использование технологий как части человеческого тела — очень захватывающее событие в истории». Нил создал интересные произведения искусства, например звуковые портреты людей, а также исследует идеи Альберта Эйнштейна о связи времени и пространства.
