Peter Weibel (Austrian German: [ˈvaɪbl], German: [ˈvaɪbəl], 5 March 1944 – 1 March 2023) was an Austrian post-conceptual artist, curator, and new media theoretician. He started out in 1964 as a visual poet, then later moved from the page to the screen within the sense of post-structuralist methodology. His work includes virtual reality and other digital art forms.[1] From 1999 he was the director of the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.
