Education and career[edit]
Ricardo studied at Harvard University, receiving an Ed.M. He later received a PhD in Humanities Computing conferred through the University Professors Program of Boston University.[2][not in citation given] At Boston University, he worked as a Research Associate.[citation needed] Ricardo was a Lecturer in art theory at the Rhode Island School of Design.[3][when?]. As Urzula Pawlicka writes of Ricardo's work: "In the book "Literary Art in Digital Performance" Ricardo and Simanowski examine the relationship of images and text that result in "the aesthetic experience of what it generates in electronic literature." Pawlicka, Urszula (2014). [4] Ricardo left teaching and formed a film studio, Conceptualist Films, in 2014.[citation needed] His documentary, F for Franco, examined the process of acting and the effects of Hollywood film and celebrity on coming-of-age identity formation as symbolized through the art and performance works of the actor/artist James Franco.[citation needed] Franco, who was once Ricardo's student, had a wide body of his own experimental art and film work, which is explored in the film.[3] F for Franco premiered at the Hollywood Film Festival in 2015 and was reviewed by The Hollywood Reporter.[3]
