Sauter studied design at the UdK Berlin, and studied direction and camera at the German Academy for Film and Television, Berlin.
He was appointed Professor for New Media Art and Design at the Universität der Künste Berlin, UdK (Berlin University of the Arts) in 1991. He has been using computers both as a tool and as a medium since the early stages of his work. 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 (easily transmissible via new media) into physical spaces, offering a more communal, reality-grounded experience than computer monitors alone allow foreign Joachim Sauter lives and works in Berlin.
