Marco Donnarumma creates technological bodies to navigate the boundaries of experience. Born hearing and then become late-deafened, he makes work that, through resonating aesthetic encounters, challenges how powers of society regulate the human body. Owing to a hybrid identity as a performer, sound artist, stage director, inventor, and theorist, he blends contemporary performance, new media art, and interactive computer music into performances, installations, and films that “defy categorization” (Jury Prix Ars Electronica). Rooted in performance art, he takes the discipline into strange encounters with sound and light, robotics and AI, movement and dramaturgy to create a sensual, uncompromising aesthetic. He is considered a pioneer in the field of emerging technology and performing arts (Der Standard), and his repertoire, often created in dialogue with science and technology labs, toured 36 countries across theater and dance, media art, contemporary music, and contemporary art.
