Donna Haraway's ‘A Cyborg Manifesto’, in 1983, suggested the possible disruption of the boundaries between human, animal and machine. A world without identity divisions that today transcends theory. Cyborg Generation brings these questions to the forefront through the portrait of Kai Landre, the first cyborg musician in Spain. In his compositions, he uses the sounds of space: cosmic rays that he can hear thanks to the cybernetic organ that he himself has designed and is seeking to have implanted. Miguel Morillo follows Kai Landre on this journey of discovery, placing a focus on his relationship with the people around him. Family and friends who make up his intimate world and who, at the same time, are part of the universe as a whole. Cyborg Generation embraces difference and stands as a refuge for identities beyond purely human. A place where bodies transform and perception expands, taking us to the farthest corners of the universe.
