‘We humans are not any more important than any other creature’
by Thomas Venker, Kaput MagazinIt seemed that all that matters is happening on and in your body: how important is the environment for your performances, the audience as much as the settings?
“I refer to my pieces as “experiences” as I hope they reach the audience in a visceral way. To that end I work with sound in particular ways, dealing with psycoacoustic as well as vibrationals phenomena in space, such as standing waves or beating effects.”

CTM: Ein starkes Unwohlsein, das beinahe in Panik umschlägt
by Celeste Lea Dittberner, Groove Magazin9 February 2024
Donnarumma Ex Silens eröffnet einen neuen Blickwinkel auf das Thema Gehörlosigkeit und verdeutlicht, dass Menschen, die noch hören können, andere Aspekte ihrer Umgebung oft nicht wahrnehmen, obwohl sie eigentlich dazu in der Lage wären. Sie lehrt, die Geräusche unseres eigenen Körpers, wie unseren Herzschlag, intensiver zu erkennen. Der Impuls dahinter liegt nicht darin, einen Verlust auszugleichen, sondern eine vielfältige Klanglandschaft zu verstärken, die bereits existiert.
Diese und die anderen Erfahrungen des CTM lassen mich bis heute, eine knappe Woche nach dem Festival, nicht los. In meinem Körper und meiner Psyche spüre ich die wahnsinnige Kraft, die audiovisuelle Klangkunst ausüben kann.

Klang, Körper und KI
by Sarah Heppekausen, Kultur.West18 September 2023
Ohne Sound würde seine spezielle Herangehensweise an Kunst und Technologie nicht funktionieren, sagt Donnarumma. Unter dem Begriff »Sound« versteht er »alle Arten der Manifestation von Vibration«. […] Damit arbeitet Donnarumma in seinen Performances. Und dafür entwickelt er Maschinen und manipuliert Körper, experimentiert mit KI-Robotik und neuen Interfaces für den musikalischen Ausdruck.

Amygdala, AI-led body politics
by Aurelio Cianciotta, Neural24 August 2018
What kind of body politics can be meaningfully developed while we live in a world where the representation of our bodies is always going to be radically manipulated on our screens by artificial intelligence algorithms developed by the software industry?

Art-ificial Intelligence
by Madhvi Ramani, The Wilson Quarterly24 May 2018
Marco Donnarumma’s work demonstrates how we are inherently connected to our technology. It encompasses the contradictions of AI, referring to the technology’s use for social categorization, while also showing how it can enable us to expand and transgress the boundaries of ourselves.

Kai Tuchmann on Dramaturgy and Digital Realities
Kai Tuchmann, The Theatre Times8 October 2019
Christoph Schlingensiefs`s Please Love Austria! and Marco Donnarumma and Nunu Kong`s (吴艳丹) Alia: Zǔ tài, present dramaturgical formats that have arisen from the special nature of the information economy in the age of digital media and AI implementation. The dramaturgy of both examples attempts to order the effects of this age on our social and human condition and to turn the digital itself into theatrical material.

Marcelino García-Sedano, Arte, Individuo y Sociedad 31(3), 643-6582 July 2019
Este artículo plantea una reflexión a través del arte de componente tecnocientífico y neomedial sobre la noción de singularidad tecnológica y sus trascendentales consecuencias para la humanidad.

Este hecho refleja las preocupaciones y anhelos que la actual sociedad manifiesta en su relación vital con las tecnologías digitales.

The Anthropomorphic Analogy: Humanising musical machines in the early modern and contemporary eras
Rebecca Cypess and Steven Kemper, Organised Sound 23(2): 167–18031 July 2018
Since the late twentieth century, the development of cybernetics, physical computing and robotics has led artists and researchers to create musical systems that explore the relationship between human bodies and mechanical systems. Anthropomorphic musical robots and bodily integrated ‘cyborg’ sensor interfaces explore complementary manifestations of what we call the ‘anthropomorphic analogy’.

Mechanisms of Augmentation in Proprioceptive Media Art
Ksenia Fedorova, M/C Journal 16 (6)1 December 2013
I am particularly interested in how the awareness of the self (grounded in the felt relationality of our body parts) is most significantly activated at the moments of disturbance of balance, in situations of perplexity and disorientation. Projects by Marco Donnarumma, Sean Montgomery, and other artists working with biofeedback aesthetically validate and instantiate current research about neuro-plasticity, with technologically mediated sensory augmentation as one catalyst of this process.

by Susanna Niedermayr, ORF, Sound Art: Zeit-Ton28 April 2022

“Überflüssige Menschheit? Posthuman Art”
ARTE Tracks10 May 2019
Längst kein Science-Fiction mehr. Die fortschreitende Technik und die künstliche Intelligenz machen den Menschen überflüssig. Und dann? Die Kunst geht wieder einmal vorneweg und zeigt Visionen einer Welt des Posthumanismus.

“Wandlungen: Abgleiten in die Stille”
by Theresa Beyer, Radio SRF 2 Kultur1 February 2019
Mensch und Maschine, Macht und Ohnmacht – Themen des Klangkünstlers Marco Donnarumma. Sein Interesse kommt nicht von ungefähr: Ohne Technologie würde der 35-Jährige sehr viel schlechter hören. Die Geschichte von einem, der mittendrin steckt in einer Wandlung – an deren Ende womöglich Taubheit steht.

“Der Musik-Cyborg I: Der Körper in der Elektronischen Musik”
by Theresa Beyer, Radio SRF 2 Kultur9 May 2018
Wenn Musikerinnen und Musiker elektronische Musik live spielen, schauen sie auf Screens, drehen an Reglern und drücken Tasten. Für das Publikum ist das nicht sonderlich aufregend. Ganz anders wirkt das, wenn der Körper die elektronischen Klänge erzeugt: dank Sensoren und künstlicher Intelligenz.
