The artist couple(Sabine Schäfer and Joachim Krebs) work primarily in the areas of spatial acoustic art, MicroSound-LED-light art and audio-visual installation. Often working closely with scientists, the artists have been creating walk-in spheres of experience comprising MicroSound and ColourLight since 1997.
Sabine Schäfer was born in Karlsruhe in 1957 and studied piano and composition with Wolfgang Rihm and Mathias Spahlinger. Since 1992 she has been performing her installation and radiophonic sound art all over the world. In 1990-91 she developed the spatial acoustic art project ‘TopoPhonien’ using her own digital sound control technology, for which she won the Siemens Media Art Prize in 1993. Joachim Krebs was born in Karlsruhe in 1952 and also studied piano and composition. From 1968 to 1978 he was a member of the rock music theatre group Checkpoint Charlie. Since 1978 he has been heavily involved with non-European musical traditions, performing at numerous international festivals of contemporary music in the 1980s. In 1995 he began developing the process of audio-microscopy and the project series ‘Artificial Soundscapes’. Among his prizes and awards are the Beethoven Prize of the City of Bonn and a fellowship in the Villa Massimo in Rome.
