Cyborg: A Documentary + Q&A12A

Directed by Carey Born | UK | 2023 | 1h 28m

Neil Harbisson aims to show the world that enhancing human senses with technology is a positive force. Born with the inability to see colour, he had an ‘eyeborg’ antenna implanted in his skull at 21, allowing him to hear colour through sound frequencies. Along with artist Moon Ribas, Harbisson co-founded the Cyborg Foundation to promote new technological senses and the Transpecies Society, which advocates for non-human identities and the freedom of self-design. In Carey Born’s compelling documentary, Neil and Moon address their critics and explore their vision for humanity’s technological future.

One-off screening featuring a post-screening panel discussion with director Carey Born, Dr Christopher Register (Fellow in Ethics at Uehiro Institute, Oxford University), Dr Oiwi Parker Jones (Principal Investigator, Oxford Robotics Institute), and Gilad D. Landau (AI Researcher DPhil, University of Oxford).

Plan your visit

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
