Barbara Schober
Barbara Schober is a German visual artist. Her work covers a broad range of various media in which the term "Postinternet, Internet Awareness" plays an important role. With ancient techniques and material experiments, she sets a counterpoint to the pervasive digital world. Schober uses photography and Freeze-frame shot, freeze-frames, creates digital and analog collages and (re-)digitizes, paints over, or applies material objects to them. She integrates intentionally or randomly created structures elsewhere in her work.

The spontaneous, the accidental and art-trouvé is as important as the artist's personal involvement with the object or the topic. The focus is on liminal areas, precarious balances and pivotal moments in photography, sculpture, film and painting. Education Barbara Schober studied intermedial design at the State Academy of ...
