Don Ritter is a Canadian artist and writer who has been active internationally in the field of digital media art since 1986. His large, interactive installations enable audiences to control their experiences through body motion, position, or voice. During his interactive performances, video projections are intricately controlled by live music. Ritter's recent writings examine the relationships between aesthetics, ethics, and digital media.

Ritter completed his graduate education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Center For Advanced Visual Studies, MIT Media Lab, and Harvard University’s Carpenter Center. He has undergraduate degrees in fine arts and psychology from the University of Waterloo, and a diploma in electronics engineering technology from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology.
