Éva B. Csonka is an interdisciplinary artist and architectural designer with a focus on performative sound architectures, live composition and new media. Her work draws from various music genres such as classical, avant-garde and psychedelic rock. Describes her work as „temporary utopias“, her current ongoing work explores human behavior, in which the moment of experimentation becoming more and more important, while the rules of the game seem to disappearing. Interested in the consequences and dangers of digitalization at the moment of personal perception, she continues this longing and the challenges of trial and error in real time through sound, light and space. Losing oneself and letting go is one of the main elements of her works.

2023 DAAD fellow in New York City, researching body movement, classical and avant-garde music at the Juilliard School and Lincoln Center. In 2021, her experimental audiovisual choreography was shown at the 17th Venice Architecture Biennale, where she investigated the characteristics and the conditions of the “overview effect”, while astronauts looking back on Earth. Her sound art compositions were performed and presented at different festivals and locations internationally such as ZKM-Kubus, Ultrasound Festival, Inside Sonic, Roundabout Festival, Robotic Soundscapes, Next generation x Festival, IRCAM, NYCEMF among others.

Prior to that, she studied architecture at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) and the Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin), graduating with a B.Sc. in Architecture from TU Berlin in 2015. The same year she was awarded for the architectural concept competition “Concepts for urban life and living“ in the field of experimental architecture, focusing on brutalism and extended megastructures as such.

She initially trained in dance in Hungary, spending her early years on international tours with a local dance company until 1997. After a long break, she continued to practice modern jazz dance and ballet at Tanzfabrik Berlin from 2009 to 2024.
