Curriculum Vitae
The Weibel Institute for Digital Cultures is a space for intervention, investigation, and experimentation within the expansive disciplines of arts, science, and technologies. Based at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the institute critically engages digital and algorithmic cultures. Building on the rich heritage of Viennese investigations into cybernetics, net cultures, media art, and tactical media, the institute serves as a vital node within a global network of research institutions on digital cultures. The Weibel Institute strives to challenge the underlying logics of digital cultures, unraveling the intricacies of cybernetic control systems and machine learning processes, the dynamics of online communities, the vast landscape of media-technological infrastructures, and their continued entanglements. This endeavor is guided by a commitment to remaking research itself, taking into account reflexive methodologies and seeking collective expressions. Taking on social and ecological responsibility in the face of emerging data systems, the institute questions the extractivist origins of digital landscapes and explores potential technological approaches beyond today’s data positivism. The Weibel Institute invites researchers, students, artists, and activists to join a space for reflection, discussion, and collaboration. Offering access to resources such as the Peter Weibel Archive and an extensive library, the institute fosters theoretical and artistic explorations that probe deeper into the cultures that make up our digital spaces. This public program includes lectures, symposia, exhibitions, workshops, and other activities.
