Gonzalo Galetto is an Argentine-born artist currently based in Santa Cruz, California. His work engages in site-specific film and sound experiments with weather conditions to propose filmic situations that engender an aesthetic encounter with elemental matter.

He received his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in Digital + Media working on sound and video installations about local ecologies and multispecies relations with spatialized sound and multiple-channel projection.

He is currently pursuing a practice-based Ph.D. in Film and Digital Media at the University of California, Santa Cruz. His interdisciplinary critical practice dissertation investigates place-based methods for environmental art practice, focusing on experimental filmmaking and sound art practices, and contemporary elemental media theory.

His recent work explores the production of experimental filmmaking and video art as modes that support a unique understanding of coastal atmospheric conditions and considers fog as an artistic material to collaborate with.

In 2024 he was an Art + Science Fellow with the Kenneth S. Norris Center for Natural History and a Fellow of Climate Action Lab at UCSC, and in 2025 he was a Fellow of the Center for Coastal Climate Resilience at UCSC.
