Frans Evers
Frans Evers († 2010) co-founded the Interfaculty Beeld en Geluid with Dick Raaijmakers and led the department. He explored how hearing and sight interact and what this might mean for artistic practice and education. His research into synaesthesia was published after his death as “The Academy of the Senses”.

Dick Raaijmakers
Dick Raaijmakers (1930–2013) was a composer, theatre maker and co-founder of the Interfaculty. He experimented with electronic sound at Philips and later taught electronic music and music theatre in The Hague. His installations and performances brought sound, image and technology together. We are now reading his “Cahier M” together.

Robin Deirkauf
Robin Deirkauf (1946–2019) taught at the Interfaculty from its founding in 1989 until 2011. His students explored how the senses affect one another and how touch can become an interface. The Interfaculty remembered him as a mentor to generations of students and a contributor to many collaborative works.
-
Klaus Baumgärtner
Klaus Baumgärtner (1948–2013) taught at the KABK and the ArtScience Interfaculty. In his work he paid close attention to ordinary things. Twigs, pieces of wood and newspaper cuttings became works in their own right. Sketches from his classes show how students explored a question using different materials.

Jan Zoet
Jan Zoet (1958–2024) mentored students from the Interfaculty Beeld en Geluid who presented new work at early editions of Sonic Acts. He worked with Theatergroep Hollandia and later directed Amare in The Hague, where he supported the 2023 ArtScience exhibition “Hugging Architecture”.
