  • Abstract

    Peter Weibel is a leading figure in the new media art scene. Since 1999 he has been director of the ZKM in Karlsruhe. He has carried out numerous curatorial activities (Arts Electronica, Venice Biennale, etc.). Among his most important exhibitions, we can also mention his cooperation with Bruno Latour, who also passed away recently (Iconoclash in 2022, Making Things Public in 2005 and Critical Zones. Horizonte einer neuen Erdpolitik in 2020). His sudden death is a shock for the ISEA communities and a tribute will be paid to him, notably through an in memoriam by Roger Malina.
