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. 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. They have come to emphasize the translation of information into physical spaces, offering a more communal, reality-grounded experience than computer monitors alone allow for.
Joachim Sauter lives and works in Berlin.
