Schober's artistic work encompasses a broad spectrum of media. "Internet awareness" plays a major role in this. With old craft techniques and material experiments, she sets a counterpoint to the all-encompassing digital world. The artist uses photography , film and video stills, she creates digital or analog collages , partially scans them again, paints over them or glues elements on. She reintegrates the structures that have arisen intentionally or by chance in the work process elsewhere. The central theme in Schober's work is playing with view and perspective , which repeatedly questions the position of the viewer. The spontaneous, the coincidental, the “found painting” play just as important a role as the artist's personal relationship to the object or subject. She is interested in the intermediate areas, states of suspension and "critical points" in photography, sculpture , film and painting .
