Daniel Sauter
Daniel Sauter is an artist who creates interactive installations and site-specific interventions dealing with the cultural and social implications of emergent technologies. His work spans a variety of disciplines, Electronic art, Performance art, Robotic art, Sound art, Interactive Sculpture, and Software art. While technology plays an important role in his work, it is not foregrounded. He uses technology as artistic material, embedded in larger social and cultural contexts. Sauter’s research is driven by a curiosity about the ways in which technologies shape and transform urban spaces, social relationships, and the human body. His current projects focus on mobile interventions exploring the phenomenon of projection in urban spaces.
