As one of the first artists to create VR installations, Weibel was also a leading figure in the expansion of the arts into other modes of reality. His work revealed the perceptual mechanisms by which reality is constructed not only socially, but also neurologically. This publication, insightfully edited by Jens Lutz and Philipp Ziegler, covers over half a century of his artistic expression, and traces his groundbreaking migration from material to machines to media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book follows the trajectory of Weibel’s work with various media—from literature to photography, from performance art to video to expanded cinema, from sculpture, sound art, and light art to digital artworks. It presents more than 400 distinctive creations by Weibel. Insightful essays and texts are accompanied by over 1200 illustrations, many never seen before. Analyses by acclaimed scholars contextualize and situate Weibel’s works within art historical and philosophical discourses, elaborate on his pioneering contributions, and establish his immense influence. The book draws on the artist’s large personal archive, presenting early draft concepts as well as personal historical statements, many of which are published here in English for the first time. Additionally, 35 videos can be accessed via QR code—featuring original works and commentaries by the artist himself.Jens Lutz, Philipp Ziegler, Preface \u003cbr\u003eSiegfried Zielinski, Cognition with Conscience:“Those who understand have wings”\u003cbr\u003eHans Ulrich Obrist The Eleven Dimensions of Peter Weibel \u003cbr\u003eFriederike Mayröcker, The Artist\u003cbr\u003ePeter Sloterdijk, Peter Weibel: Premature Encounters with the World Spirit\u003cbr\u003ePeter Weibel, Material Thinking , Context Theory of Art\u003cbr\u003ePeter Weibel, Machines of Some Kind\u003cbr\u003ePeter Weibel, Photography and the Administration of Data\u003cbr\u003eOntological Leaps\u003cbr\u003ePhoto-Fak\u003cbr\u003eSiegfried Zielinski, Transverse – Dissymmetrical – Interventional\/Epic: Work Gestures from Peter Weibel’s Tool Kit\u003cbr\u003eTerry Smith, Art against Media: Early Works by Peter Weibel\u003cbr\u003eHans Belting, Peter Weibel: The Tele-Actions\u003cbr\u003ePeter Weibel, Video as Spatial Art\u003cbr\u003eWolfgang Kemp, Peter Weibel: The Audience as Exhibit\u003cbr\u003ePamela C.
