Cyborg art, also known as cyborgism,^[1] is an art movement that began in the mid-2000s in Britain.^[2] It is based on the creation and addition of new senses to the body via cybernetic implants^[3] and the creation of art works through new senses.^[4] Cyborg artworks are created by cyborg artists;^[5] artists whose senses have been voluntarily enhanced through cybernetic implants.^[6] Among the early artists shaping the cyborg art movement are Neil Harbisson, whose antenna implant allows him to perceive ultraviolet and infrared colours,^[7] and Moon Ribas whose implants in her feet^[8] allow her to feel earthquakes and moonquakes.^[9] Other cyborg artists include:

• Manel De Aguas, a Catalan photographer who developed fins that allow him to perceive atmospheric pressure, humidity and temperature through a couple of implants at each side of his head.^[10]
• Joe Dekni, an artist who has developed and installed a radar system in his head. The sensory system includes two implants in his cheekbones.^[11]
• Pau Prats, creator of a system that allows him to feel the ultraviolet ray levels that reach his skin.^[12][13]
• Alex Garcia, whose sensor installed in his chest allows him to feel the air quality levels around him.^[14]
• Kai Landre, a musician developing two implants to hear the sound of the particles affected by the collusion of cosmic rays.^[15]
• Hannah Meltzer, a visual and performance artist who has magnets implanted in her fingers and ears which allow her to feel magnetic fields.^[16][17]
• Dodo K. Doudová, Czech autism rights advocate who has a sensor that allows them to feel ionizing radiation on their own skin as vibrations and a subdermal chip implant. ^[18][19][20]
