         <span class="fsl">Marco Donnarumma is a performance artist, sound artist, musician and writer. He has played interactive music by amplifying sounds from his body, has induced visitors in altered states of self-perception by feeding sounds from their bodies back to their skulls and bones, has immersed audiences in multichannel sound and video produced by the strain of his muscles while he pulled 50Kg stones, and has physicalised digital viruses in the body. He uses human bodies and machines as materials. Working with biophysical media, that is, biomedical technologies, sound devices, computer software, sensor and transducers, he creates artworks where human bodies and machines extend, transform or disrupt each other. His live performances, concerts and installations are renown for combining rigorous science, technical sophistication and critical concepts into intense live experiences.</span>

+        <span class="fsl">There is a tendency in art and technology artworks to equate the artistic value of an artwork with its level of displayed beauty and uncritical engagement. This implies discarding the political aspects that are implicit to art and technology; it means to isolate artistic practice in a limbo of disillusionment. However, to be fully aware of the political value of art and technology practice means –  for artists, curators and audiences –  to gain a means to actively change the way we understand the relations of human bodies and technology. In this talk, Marco will discuss how aesthetic and politics can be integrated into a culturally aware artistic practice by describing a legacy of art and technology artworks, including some of his own latest pieces, spanning 50 years of practice.</span>
