BIOGRAPHY

Sól Ey is an Icelandic artist and researcher whose work combines sound, space, movement, light, and the body. With a background in composition, she uses tools such as sensors, DIY electronics, scenography, video projections, and spatial sound. Her artistic output comprises performances, installations, and instrument design that emphasise interaction, immersion, and participation.

She was an artist-in-residence at the Spatial Sound Institute (Budapest 2018) and Instrument Inventor’s Initiative (The Hague 2021), and a research fellow at the Academy for Theatre and Digitality (Dortmund 2022). Moreover, she has worked with art groups such as Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT), Maze Ensemble, Ableton Ensemble Modelo62, and been an intern for German composer-director Heiner Goebbels.
