Sabine Schäfer is a free-lance sonic art composer and media artist. She studied composition with Mathias Spahlinger and Wolfgang Rihm, and piano at the Hochschule für Musik (Karlsruhe). She has developed numerous interdisciplinary art projects with visual artists, writers, dancers and other musicians. She has researched the artistic application of system-exclusive data at the Center of Art and Media (ZKM, Karlsruhe), and computer-controlled pianos at the Institute of Sonology (The Hague).
Since 1992 she has been creating computer controlled spatial sound installations and has staged multimedia performances; she has also been producing radio plays on sonic art since 1994. In her walk-in sound environments, Sabine Schäfer often refers to the architectural environment in which the works are staged. For ZKM (Karlsruhe) she developed together with Sukandar Kartadinata TopoPhonien: an art project quering the spatialization of sound. Sabine Schäfer has been awarded the Acustica International award, and the Siemens Media Art Prize. Her most recent project is Sonic Rooms in collaboration with the composer Joachim Krebs.
