Description
Lepht Anonym is a bio-hacker based in Berlin who performs surgeries on themself[1] to transition to cyborg. Fed up with the abstract idealism of the Transhumanism movement, they implant different types of sensors in their body to develop new senses. Lepht does all of these self-surgeries without anesthesia and uses their own body as the test dummy, but has successfully gained additional senses that no other human in history have experienced. Starting with RFID implants, the same type that are implanted in pets, to be able to unlock personal computer and other devices. They later moved to implanting neodymium metal disks in their fingertips that allow for sensing the shape and strength of electro-magnetic fields (which are given off by power cords, magnets, and electric devices). Lepht is currently working on a project called "Southpaw", a device in the knee which would always point magnetic north. It is based a external ankle device of the same function, "Northpaw[2]", created by the bio-hacking group Sensebridge.
