Joachim Sauter will discuss the groundbreaking work that he has developed as part of the art collective and company Art+COM (http://www.artcom.de), one of the leaders in the field of interactive applications. Founded in 1988 by a group of artists, designers, scientists, and technicians, Art+Com has been committed to the future of new media and realizes ambitious, custom-tailored applications in the field of information and communication technologies.

BIO:
Joachim Sauter studied design at the polytechnic university Schwabisch Gmund. After completing his MA at the academy of fine arts in Berlin, he continued his studies at the 'German Academy for Film and Television,' Berlin. During this time, he received several film awards such as the 'Lisitzky Award' from the 'Deutscher Kunstlerbund' and the 'Max Ophuels short-film-award.'

Sauter has been using computers both as a tool and as a medium from the early stages of his work. Fueled by this interest, he founded Art+Com in 1988, together with other artist, designers, scientists and technicians. Their goal was to practically research this new upcoming medium in the realm of art and design.

In the course of his work he was invited to participate on many exhibitions. Beside others he showed his work at Ars Electronica, Linz: Centre Pompidou, Paris, Stejdilik Museum, Amsterdam; Museum for Contemporary Art, Sidney; Deichtorhallen, Hamburg; Venice Biennial; ICC, Tokyo; Getty Center, Los Angeles; and ZKM, Karlsruhe.

He received several awards like the 'Ars Electronica Interactive Award,' the 'Los Angeles Interactive Media Award,' the 'Prix Pixel INA,' the 'British Academy for Film and Television Interactive Award,' the 'German Design Award,' and the 'Swiss Design Award.'
Since 1991 he is full professor for "New Media Art and Design" at the University of the Arts Berlin and since 2001 adjunct professor at the Design | Media Arts Center at UCLA, Los Angeles.
