# Biography
(German: [ˈvaɪbəl]; born 5 March 1944 in Odessa, USSR[1]) 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 investigating virtual reality and other digital art forms.[2] Since 1999 he has been director of the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe.
