Artist Neil Harbisson is best known, perhaps, for his widely viewed TED talk "I listen to color" (viewed more than 2 million times). In it, Harbisson describes being born completely colorblind, seeing the world only in gray scale. Harbisson describes how he senses the world and how he interprets sound as color. It is an extreme, unusual, and fascinating study of sensation and perception. Run Time: 9 and a half minutes.
Answer the following discussion questions in complete sentences:
- What are your reactions to this?
