Riccardo Iacono began working with film and video in 1991 to create happenings, interventions and installations in dance clubs and disused warehouse spaces in and around Glasgow. He then became involved in abstract hand-painted filmmaking, creating visual music compositions and kinetic light sculptures for television, cinemas and festivals. Over the years his work has evolved to include computer animation, video collage and performance

Iacono studied Drawing and Painting at Glasgow School of Art and Electronic Imaging at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee. He has shown on Channel 4 (1997-9), Scottish Television (1995) and Sky TV (1998), and internationally in festivals, cinemas and galleries, including Edinburgh International Film Festival (1997, 2001, 2002); TIE, The International Experimental Cinema Exposition, Colorado (2001-05); Images Festival, Toronto (2002); A Century of Artists' Film in Britain, Tate Britain (2003); International Film Festival Rotterdam (2003); Ice in The Freezer, a one-person show at Pleasure Dome, Toronto (2003); From Memory, a one-person show at Kino Oko, Prague (2005); and Love Songs From A Dark Body, a retrospective at La Enana Marrón, Madrid (2005).
