The Device That Turned Me Into A Cyborg Was Born The Same Year I Was considers the cochlear implant’s existence as a symbol of integration and assimilation. Concluding the device can be used as a neutral tool, at times it is liberating — other times, constraining. Oscillating between daydream and nightmare, as Man steps into his autonomy as a deaf adult, the film explores the embrace of devices developed with ableist intentions, and the complicated journey that accompanies the experience.
