Should We All Grow Organs,

like these?

the decorative fins are functional organs, they actually perceive the temperature, humidity and atmospheric pressure and send sounds to Manel’s brain via a bone conduction, photograph Manel de Aguas, in June of 2019, the Spanish artist sat down with VICE Magazine and explained his intention to have an artificial organ that would allow him to feel changes in temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure through his skull, “The atmosphere will sound inside my head, and depending on the atmospheric conditions in any given moment, I will have the experience of being submerged in one type of medium or another,” the 24-year-old said. “As for the outer part, the organ will have an appearance inspired by the fins of flying fish, and I will implant a fin on each side of my head, at the same level as the temple bone in my skull, I have always felt a special connection to the rain, so when I found out that there was a way to feel this sense within me, I thought it would be good to create [an organ] that would connect me even more to rain, as well as other atmospheric phenomena,” Manel added. “As for the shape of the organ, I have always been interested in marine species, both real and mythological, so the idea of creating a fin-shaped organ simply came from within.” Manel described himself as a “propioespecie”, or his own species, his response to the anthropocentrism of today’s society, which puts human beings on the highest echelon of a false hierarchy of species, as you might expect after being refused by several doctors in Spain, He had the artificial fins implanted into his skull at a clinic in Japan, the fins weigh 500 grams, can be recharged with solar energy, and can connect to various devices via Wi-Fi. “I will be exploring the weather through this new sensory organ,” Manel de Aguas posted on Instagram, where his new look has been getting a lot of attention, I have to admit it, if I want to know what the weather is doing, I look out of the window, or look at the weather report in a newspaper, but then I am rather old fashioned.
