Joachim Sauter

Joachim Sauter (1959 – 10 July 2021[1]) was a German media artist and designer. He was appointed Professor for New Media Art and Design at the Universität der Künste Berlin, UdK (Berlin University of the Arts) in 1991.[2] Since 2001 he was adjunct professor at UCLA, Los Angeles.[3]

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.[4] 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.[5] 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.[6] As Head of Design at ART+COM, he led the interdisciplinary group’s innovative experiments, using new technologies to convey complex topics while exploring their potential for spatial communication and art.[7]

Joachim Sauter lived and worked in Berlin.
