Real-Life Cyborgs / Body Hacking & Augmentation

[Mythopoeika]

Is he codding us?

A 24-year-old man from Catalonia, Spain named Manel Munoz has had two fins implanted into his skull. Munoz, who is known artistically as Manel De Aguas claims to identify as a “trans-species,” which means that he wants to live his life, at least partly, as another species.

The silicone fins that have been attached to each side of his head help him fit in with his “cyborg” identity. Munoz says that he has never felt entirely human, so he has sought to become the person he truly believes himself to be. Munoz says that the fins are connected to a microchip that allows him to somehow hear atmospheric pressure, humidity, and changes in temperature.

A terminally-ill British scientist dying from a muscle wasting disease says has fully completed his transition into the world's first full cyborg - called Peter 2.0.

Dr Peter Scott-Morgan finally passed away last month. I've got very mixed feelings regarding transhumanism, and the applied reality of cyborg existence: but there's no doubt that this brave man positively pushed back many boundaries throughout his life, and its leaving.

BODY HACKING WITH CYBORG MANEL DE AGUAS

Manel de Aguas, a Spanish cyborg artist and transpecies activist based in Barcelona, has pushed the limits of what the human body is capable of with the help of modern technology.

Through a pair of artificial organs implanted on either side of his head, Manel is able to “hear” the weather in ways non-cybernetic humans can hardly imagine — Believe It or Not! ...

His Weather Fins, which resemble large white seashells, are attached above his ears and fastened to the temporal bones in his skull. They are connected to Manel’s brain through circuits and serve as functional organs that allow him to detect changes in temperature, humidity, and even atmospheric pressure. ...
