Sabine Sanio

Prof. Dr. habil. Sabine Sanio serves as an Honorary Professor at Berlin University of the Arts, affiliated with the Berlin Career College where she heads the theory focus for the Master's program in Sound Studies and Sonic Arts. Her work bridges musicology, philosophy, and media studies with emphasis on contemporary experimental practices.

Her academic foundation includes German literature and philosophy studies at Frankfurt/Main and Berlin universities. She earned her doctorate on 'Alternatives to the Aesthetics of the work of art' and habilitation on 'The Blurring of Aesthetic Boundaries in the 20th Century' in Musicology/Sound Studies.

Sanio's research spans aesthetics, media theory, sonic arts, and avant-garde movements with notable focus on gender in electronic music and sound as temporal model. Her publications reveal deep engagement with the intersection of art, science, and technology across historical and contemporary contexts.

Recent publications demonstrate consistent exploration of experimental composers (Cage, Lucier) and evolving interest in auditory politics and gendered sound production. Key thematic threads include boundary dissolution between art forms, political dimensions of listening, and philosophical frameworks for sonic time.
