Moon Ribas

Moon Ribas (born 24 May 1985)[1] is a Spanish cyborg activist and avant-garde artist best known for developing and implanting online seismic sensors in her feet[2] that allow her to feel earthquakes through vibrations.

[6] Her choreography works are based on the exploration of new movements developed by the addition of new senses or sensory extensions to the dancer.

[10] Moon has been wearing the sensor permanently since March 2013 and has used her seismic sense to create dance pieces.

[17] In 2008, Moon created a speedometer glove that allowed her to perceive the exact speed of any movement around her through vibrations on her hand.

[19] Moon travelled around Europe with her speedborg earrings to find out what the average walking speed of citizens was in different cities.

[23] The earrings were developed further by students from La Salle (Barcelona) by adding 4 extra sensors in order to gain 360° perception of movement through vibrations around the head.
