Austrian artist Patrizia Ruthensteiner studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Her artistic work combines instrument making and visual arts, composition, electroacoustic music and choreography. Sculptural and hybrid sound generators, which determine the choreography, are an integral part of her work and the subject of her exploration of the interaction between sound and movement. In her artistic projects, she pursues a spatial compositional approach and often establishes new kinds of relationships between nature, culture and technology. Her solo and collaborative projects have been presented at international music festivals and various venues, including

Musikverein Vienna (AT), Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna (AT), Simultan Festival (RO), Smallforms (AT), Gaudeamus Festival / iii (NLD), NEXT Festival (SLOW), Festival Novas Frequências (BRA), Mekudeshet (ISR), Casa da Música (PRT), WORM (NLD), Äquidistanz Festival / MOOZAK (AT), Unsafe+Sounds Festival (AT), Club Radiokoje / czirp czirp (AT), Klangmanifeste (AT), Fonoteca Nacional (MEX), Goldsmiths University (UK), etc.
