David Govoni studied Electronic Intermedia at the University of Florida and Filmmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design. He draws upon a multidisciplinary experience working with the technologies of film, video, audio, photography, and the integration of these primary devices with digital praxis.
His work with these technologies is founded on a distinctive set of cross-disciplinary specializations learned and practiced in an array of academic and production environments. He views these overlapping areas of concentration as mutually informing a continued inquiry into critical issues of media theory and a sustained art practice in a cultural context where the 'techniques' of innovative art practice are increasingly overlapped and exchanged with the 'techniques' of contemporary mass media.
Exhibitions of his intermedia work explore various non-standard possibilities, such as broadcast television and radio, site-specific architectural installation-projection, and alternative performative venues, as well as, traditional art world venues of museums and galleries.
His works have been presented at PBS, MTV, SBS NATIONAL RADIO AUSTRALIA, 'FACT' FOUNDATION FOR ART & CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY LONDON, RCTV-VISUAL STUDIES MEDIA ARTS CENTER and CEPA GALLERY- New York, THE FLORIDA ELECTROACOUSTIC MUSIC FESTIVAL, Harn Museum of Art, THE DIGITAL WORLDS INSTITUTE, lincoln center (FILM), PHOTOMEDIA CENTER Erie, Pennsylvania; Los Angeles Center For Digital Art Los Angeles, California; CIRCA ART MAGAZINE Dublin, Ireland; and Cornerhouse International Centre for Contemporary Arts and Film Manchester, UK.
January 2010 one of his works "Article of Faith" was recognized at the 5th annual Black and White Spider Awards in the Still Life Category. This work will be published in the September 2010 issue of 'Photo Paper' magazine. The most recent presentations of his work were the exhibitions ‘Sonic Vigil’ at the St Fin Barre's Cathedral in Cork, Ireland in July 2010 and ‘Digital Convergence’ at the Digital Worlds Institute University of Florida in September 2010.
