Riccardo Giovinetto is a visual and multimedia artist, physicist, and university professor. His practice spans audiovisual performance, immersive installations, and contemporary composition, exploring the evolving dialogue between sound, image, and algorithmic structures.
Using generative systems and real-time digital manipulation, Riccardo Giovinetto creates sound-reactive environments and media sculptures in which visual and sonic elements unfold as interconnected, living systems. Giovinetto’s solo project FEMINA debuted at the opening night of POSTCITY, Ars Electronica Festival 2023, and has since been presented at L.E.V. Festival, MUTEK Montréal, Videocittà Rome, and Sonica Glasgow, among others. In January 2026, FEMINA was presented at the Philharmonie de Paris as part of the closing program of the NEMO Biennale.
His installations have been exhibited in international contexts, including the NEMO Biennale in Paris, the LINK Festival in Oviedo, and the Museo Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, with works frequently shaped by the conceptual underpinnings of FEMINA – a project that explores the idea of grace and the gaze that defined it during the Renaissance.
In December 2024, FEMINA received the Videocittà’ Award for Best AV Performance and in october 2025 he won the City Digital Skin Art Festival Awards with “Intarsi”.
In 2010, he co-founded OZMOTIC, a duo merging electronic and instrumental music, collaborating with artists such as Christian Fennesz and Murcof. Their albums are published by the London Label Touch. Alongside his artistic practice, Giovinetto teaches Acoustic Physics and Sound Design at the Scuola di Alto Perfezionamento Musicale in Saluzzo and SAE Institute Milan.
Riccardo Giovinetto performs as part of Lumo Art & Tech Festival at Tarkastamo on Wednesday 18 November
