Peter Weibel’s collected writings of the history of media in 6 volumes
The sixth and thus final volume of Peter Weibel's Enzyklopädie der Medien, a selection of his writings, is entitled Theorie und Medien. Wahrnehmung und Wandel der Welt durch und mit Medien. It brings together groundbreaking texts on media and art theory by the recently deceased artist, curator and theorist on the question of how the media (arts) change, simulate and constitute our world. Starting from the observation of observation and the interface, Weibel outlines the media(-arts) as a place to reflect on our access to the world. Weibel provides us tools for analysing virtual worlds and images. The focus lies on the convergence of art and science, nature and technology, from which new systems of knowledge emerge. Furthermore, Weibel develops a theory of multiple modernities in which representation is replaced not only by abstraction but also by real objects, materiality and a new tool culture. With the term "Kontextkunst", Weibel reveals art as a social construction. In doing so, he always addresses the social relevance of (media) art.
