Neil Harbisson is the world’s first cyborg, neither human nor machine but a hybrid mix. Since 2004 when he got an antenna implanted in his skull he can perceive color as sound, receive phone calls directly to his head, listen in on the ultraviolet radiation of outer space, and more. He is part of a small community of experimental artists pushing the bounds of what it means to be human, sometimes reluctant spokespeople for a life in which biology and technology are inextricably intertwined. Today we speak about his way of perceiving the world, what it means to open your consciousness to direct internet access and external control; identity, sanity, reality, ethics, and our future as a species.

Primal Nature is a podcast and center for psychedelic therapy in rural Spain.
We work primarily with people who have reached the limits of what rational analysis can offer in terms of healing or growth; our practice is centered on cultivating deeper relationships between feeling and understanding, body and mind, human and nature.
We offer therapy for individuals and couples, as well as workshops, retreats, and expeditions - in select locations throughout Europe, the Americas, and Africa.
