Career edit

Kosti began working in music and visuals as part of the Hungarian pop-rock band,[5] Punnany Massif.[6] In this period she directed a music video,[7] created live visuals[8] and stage designs[9] for the band. She started to work with live visuals and 3D animation in 2010, and she designed her first stage design in 2016 at Mupa Budapest.[10] During her studies, she directed music videos and made her first short film, IM Perfekt. Her research focused on transhumanism and cyborgs. In 2018, she gave a TED[11] talk titled "Invisible Cyborgism".[12]

In 2022 Hajogyar[16] created an autobiographical documentary, detailing the journey of her life and works which was followed by her first collaboration with Cinema Mystica, the first immersive exhibition in Budapest.[17] In 2021 she began her research on datasets and in 2023 she debuted with her first data visualization project What Lies Beneath[18] on Vivid Sydney. What Lies Beneath then was invited to the largest light festival in Hungary, the Zsolnay Light Festival.[19] In 2023 she was invited to collaborate with Es Devlin and Luke Halls for the 52ND UAE Union Day[20] in Dubai.
