The winner of the 2009 Witteveen+Bos Art+Technology Award is sound artist/composer Edwin van der Heide. An independent jury nominated him for the strength of his unique position within the new media and the visual arts. His innovative constructions incisively interconnect contemporary music, visual arts and architecture.
Van der Heide born (1970) studied music technology at the Utrecht School of the Arts (1988). One year later he switched to studying sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague where he graduated in 1992. Since then he has produced a closely knit oeuvre. Van der Heide makes installations centring on sound-time-space parameters, composing with sound and with spatial experiences.
