Sound art is at the centre of Christine Schörkhuber's artistic work; objects, video, spatial interventions and performance are also among her "instruments". She is particularly interested in social and physical systems of order and communication, the relationships between people and things.

Schörkhuber utilises the affective and situational potential of spatial installations to focus on ambiguous processes, whereby a superficial simplicity, tangibility and subject-relatedness remain binding. Her work with sound objects has increasingly developed into a performative, time-based approach, so that she now also works in the border area of new music, experimental sound and electro-acoustic composition.

Examples include the works Stille Post with language, translation and transformation based on the principle of the children's game of the same name, in which multilingual people were asked to translate the recording of a text and play this translation back into the pool of an audio composition generated in this way (audio image about the importance of linguistic understanding, migration history and the only apparent homogeneity of a regional population), SELTSAMEN - an installation in which stories, sounds and images (and performance) grew into a total work of art and joint reflection on nature and the plant world, and - albeit more playful - the work Geräuschteppich.

The Geräuschteppich (Sound carpet) project is an environment for active listeners. Pressure sensors under the carpet control sound objects made from modified and variously motorised everyday objects. The sound generators function without amplification and with minimal power consumption - energy-saving music, so to speak.

Different constellations of sound generation can be triggered while walking, standing, lying or sitting. The carpet as a piece of furniture, warming surface, room divider and generally inconspicuous everyday object is at the centre of a staging that takes up the expected and speculates with the unexpected. The sound carpet is a collective, space- and situation-related electronic instrument, an installation that can be played by the visitors through their movements.
