CYBORG FOUNDATION
IS AN ONLINE PLATFORM FOR THE RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT AND PROMOTION OF PROJECTS RELATED TO THE CREATION OF NEW SENSES AND PERCEPTIONS BY APPLYING TECHNOLOGY TO THE HUMAN BODY.
OUR MISSION IS TO HELP PEOPLE BECOME CYBORGS, PROMOTE CYBORG ART AND DEFEND CYBORG RIGHTS
CYBORG ART
The art of creating your own senses
CYBORG ART IS AN ARTISTIC MOVEMENT WHERE ARTISTS EXTEND THEIR SENSES BEYOND THEIR PHYSICAL BOUNDARIES BY APPLYING TECHNOLOGY INTO THEIR BODIES. THE ARTWORK OF A CYBORG ARTIST IS THE NEW SENSE, BUT IT’S AN ARTWORK THAT HAPPENS INSIDE THE ARTIST. THEY ARE THE ONLY AUDIENCE OF THEIR OWN ART.
​
In Cyborg Art; the artwork, the audience,
and the museum is all in the same body.
​​
​
IF WE EXTEND OUR SENSES TO PERCEIVE OUR PLANET IN A DEEPER WAY, OUR BEHAVIOUR AND UNDERSTANDING TOWARDS IT WILL PROBABLY CHANGE. WE EXPERIENCE THE WORLD THROUGH OUR SENSES SO BY CREATING NEW SENSES OUR EXPERIENCE OF REALITY CHANGES, AND GETS DEEPER. WE BELIEVE THAT BY CREATING NEW SENSES WE REVEAL A REALITY THAT OUR NATURAL SENSES DON’T ALLOW US TO PERCEIVE. THAT’S WHY WE DON’T SUBSCRIBE TO VR (VIRTUAL REALITY) OR AR (AUGMENTED REALITY); AND INSTEAD AIM FOR RR, REVEALED REALITY.

THE CYBORG BILL OF RIGHTS V1.0:
In 2016 together with electronic civil rights and civil liberties researcher and activist Rich MacKinnon, a list of Cyborg Civil Rights were proposed at SXSW. The rights exposed the redefinition and defence of cyborg civil liberties and the sanctity of cyborg bodies. It also foresaw a battle for the ownership, licensing, and control of augmented, alternative, and synthetic anatomies; the communication, data and telemetry produced by them; and the very definition of what it means to be human.
