Intelligent technologies are changing the foundations of human life through software, sensors, interfaces, and robots. These developments not only affect our way of thinking and doing, but also our relationships with each other. The sixth edition of Technosphärenklänge illuminates these new realities and explores the interfaces between humans and machines.

The world premiere of the performance Alia: Zǔ tài: In the powerful sound choreography by Marco Donnarumma and Nunu Kong, an artificial intelligence connects three dancers equipped with sensors interacting with robotic prostheses to sound and light to create a kinetic feedback loop.
