Peter Weibel (German: ['va?b?l]; born 5 March 1944 in Odessa, USSR) is an internationally known Austrian post-conceptual artist, curator and new media theoretician.
He started out in 1964 as a visual poet but soon jumped from the page to the screen within the sense of post-structuralist methodology.
Thanks to this linguistic input into his visual media works, Weibel developed a critical impulse that turned against society and the media, while investigation virtual reality and other digital art forms.
Since 1999 he has been director of the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.
