Текстовый материал о двух британских художниках с ограниченными физическими возможностями

British artist Steve Chambers makes detailed paintings of the highest quality that he paints with his mouth. Since his childhood Steve has arthrogryposis syndrome and cannot properly move the muscles of his arms Chambers says that painting with mouth "is like you using your hand to pick up a spoon" Nowadays Steve Chambers is a member of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists association, which is a remarkable group (800 members) that creates watercolors and drawings of all sorts without their hands.
Steve is original throughout: the moustache a La Salvador Dali, tattoos and extraordinary clothes.




Born with the inability to see colour, Neil Harbisson wears a prosthetic device — he calls it an "eyeborg" — that allows him to hear the spectrum, even those colours beyond the range of human sight. His unique experience of colour informs his artwork which ( until he met cyberneticist Adam Montandon at a college lecture), was strictly black-and-white. Harbisson wears a lightweight eyepiece on his forehead that transposes the light frequencies of colour hues into sound frequencies.
Harbisson's artwork blurs the boundaries between sight and sound.

Harbisson's artwork blurs the boundaries between sight and sound.
