Marco Donnarumma is an artist, inventor and theorist. His oeuvre confronts normative body politics with uncompromising counter-narratives, where bodies are in tension between control and agency, presence and absence, grace and monstrosity. He is best known for using sound, AI, biosensors, and robotics to turn the body into a site of resistance and transformation. He has presented his work in thirty-seven countries across Asia, Europe, North and South America and is the recipient of numerous accolades, most notably the German Federal Ministry of Research and Education's Artist of the Science Year 2018, the Prix Ars Electronica's Award of Distinction in Sound Art 2017, and a ZER01NE Creator grant in 2024. Donnarumma was named a pioneer of performing arts with advanced technologies by the major national newspaper Der Standard, Austria.
