Eva Sommeregger
with Gregor Holzinger and Florian Schafschetzy
Eva Sommeregger is a Vienna-based architectural researcher employing both arts-based and theoretical methods. Through writing, curating and the development of experimental digital spaces, her practice explores under-examined spatial aspects of media culture, examining entangled power relations and bodily forms of resistance.
Eva holds a diploma in architecture from the Vienna University of Technology, a master's degree in architectural design with distinction from the Bartlett School of Architecture in London, and a doctorate from the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Eva received the Margarethe Schütte-Lihotzky Fellowship and was a Schindler Fellow at the MAK Center Los Angeles. Her work has been exhibited at MoMA New York and the Venice Architecture Biennale. She is co-founder of eyetry, an architectural practice that develops regenerative media spaces, and of MAGAZIN, an exhibition space for contemporary architecture in Vienna.
Eva is the co-editor of (Building) New Perspectives through Practice-led Research in Art, Design and Architecture (LMA, 2023, with Dietmar Köring, Liene Jākobsone, Dina Suhanova and Mara Traumane), and author of Tupaia, Kybernetes & Lara Croft (Breite Gasse, 2022). Currently, she works as a Senior Scientist at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and as a Senior Researcher at the LMDA Research Institute of the Art Academy of Latvia in Riga."
