Marco Donnarumma (DE) is an artist, performer, stage director and theorist weaving together contemporary performance, new media art and interactive computer music since the early 2000s. He manipulates bodies, creates choreographies, engineers machines and composes sounds, thus combining disciplines, media and technology into an oneiric, sensual, uncompromising aesthetics. He is internationally acknowledged for solo performances, stage productions and installations that defy genres, and where the body becomes a morphing language to speak critically of ritual, power and technology.

Donnarumma holds a Ph.D. in performing arts, computing and body theory from Goldsmiths, University of London. Recently, he was a Medienkunst Fellow at medienwerk.nrw and PACT Zollverein, Essen, and currently is an Associate Researcher at the Intelligent Instruments Lab, Reykjavik. Previously, he held research positions at the Akademie­ für Theater ­und Digitalität, Dortmund and at the Berlin University of the Arts in partnership with the Neurorobotics Research Laboratory. He was funded by European Commission, Goethe-Institut, Berlin Senate, Fonds Darstellende Künste, Rockefeller Foundation, British Council and New Media Scotland. His writings are published by MIT Press, Oxford University Press, Routledge, ACM and Springer.
