What is deafness if not another mode of perception? What is a cyborg if not an exploded mirror of today’s corporeal experience? „Ex Silens“ is part of the series I Am Your Body, a long-term project by Marco Donnarumma that investigates deafness, sound, and (artificial) intelligence through participatory research driven by and with d/Deaf and hard-of-hearing people. In „Ex Silens,“ hearing algorithms, AI, and cochlear prostheses are morphed into new means of sensing; they do not try to repair a loss with a gain, but rather magnify a kaleidoscopic sound world that’s always been there. Radically intimate, the prostheses are organs of sharing: they amplify sounds from the performer’s muscle, heartbeat, and blood flow, diffuse vibrations through the bodies of audience and performer, and in doing so, resonate sensible forms of being.

Programme
From 26 January – 4 February 2024, CTM Festival will celebrate a silver 25 year anniversary at Radialsystem, Berghain, silent green, and other Berlin venues.
CTM 2024 is titled "Sustain" – a weird and fascinating word that touches opposite polarities of the contemporary experience as it speaks of the empathy and determination through which we survive, as well as of our anxieties, losses, and pains. In the word "sustain" we sense both what we are going through while hearing what needs to be done. It is as much a description as it is an imperative as it is a vocation towards more interdependent ways of life. With its 2024 edition CTM Festival asks what if "sustain" were a sound? What would it be like? Music is not only a refuge, but also a constant reminder of our desire to get closer to the brighter end of the spectrum. Looking at musical life and music ecosystems under the perspective of "sustain", what ideals, ethics, and practices can we identify and discuss to make music a means to work towards something more sane, just, and sustainable?
