The Eyeborg

Way cool...
Cyborg Enables Color-Blind Artist to Hear His Palette
Neil Harbisson was never a fan of Mark Rothko. Or any abstract artist for that matter. Harbisson's extreme color blindness - a congenital condition called achromatopsia - dulled even great works based on shape and tone rather than pictoral image.
But now his life - and his art - have been transformed by a device called the Eyeborg, which enables him to perceive color by sound, and to - quite literally - "compose" paintings….
Check out his work here.
