Ronald van der Meijs (1966) lives and works in Amsterdam. He graduated cum laude at the Academy of Arts St. Joost, Breda in the Netherlands. He received the Vishal Art Price 2015 / 2016 in Haarlem and exhibits around the world.
Van der Meijs creates sound works and field recordings since 1999 and produces huge location-based mechanical sound generating installations that show how we relate to our technocratic society. He consciously creates an area between desire and acceptance by using the dialogue between nature and technology or nature versus culture. Unpredictable and slow natural processes control the work and form a metaphorical and conceptual treatment of sound, space and time.
More recently he is also performing with some of his huge machine like installations by amplifying their sounds and morphing them in a live electronic sound setting.
