Biography

Sauter studied design at the UdK Berlin, and studied direction and camera at the German Academy for Film and Television, Berlin. He has been using computers both as a tool and as a medium since the early stages of his work.[2] A pioneer of new media, he has developed and shaped this field with his works from the early 1980s on.

In 1988 he founded the new media design studio ART+COM, together with other designers, architects, technologists, and their ilk - more generally, artists and scientists. Their goal was to practically research this new upcoming medium in the realm of art and design.[3] They have come to emphasize the translation of information (easily transmissible via new media) into physical spaces, offering a more communal, reality-grounded experience than computer monitors alone allow for.[4]

Joachim Sauter lives and works in Berlin.
