Berkveldt is a Rotterdam-based audiovisual art studio. The projects are rooted in scientifically-based research and explore the interplay between humanity and the natural world.
Through extensive research, Berkveldt incorporates practical, local, and personal knowledge to provide new insights into complex social issues. The immersive installations and audiovisual stories offer a unique perspective on the world. Berkveldt's work challenges human perceptions of reality by using magical realism to offer a different angle on societal and cultural challenges. By incorporating non-human perspectives, viewers are invited to explore the fantastical and the magical within the everyday world. Berkveldt offers a unique vision of the future, challenging dominant paradigms and encouraging us to rethink our relationship with nature.
Noëlle Ingeveldt graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and achieved her Master of Arts at M.I.A.R.D Piet Zwart Instituut. She teaches at the HKU Bachelor Design for Change and Innovation.

Necrosonic Landscape at DDW 2024
"Necrosonic Landscapes" is an artistic exploration by Berkveldt into the space between life and death, documenting the decay of a roebuck. Through contact and directional microphones, the project captures the sounds of decomposition and the life it nurtures, including soil microorganisms visible under a microscope. This audiovisual installation emphasizes death's vital role in nature's cycle, offering a fresh perspective on life and death's interconnectedness. It was featured at DDW 2023.
Bear Country: a transformative artistic research journey
“Bear Country” is een artistieke verkenning door Studio Berkveldt, een Rotterdams audiovisueel duo. Dit project verdiept zich in de toenemende Europese berenpopulatie en hun mogelijke migratie naar Nederland, en ontketent cruciale discussies over de Nederlandse co-existentie tussen mens en dier. Op 25 juni 2023 zal Berkveldt in deze presentatie een blik werpen op de beelden die zij tijdens hun onderzoek hebben verzameld en hun eerste ervaringen en inzichten delen.
