Peter Kogler is an Innsbruck-born Austrian artist and a leading figure in contemporary art. In a career spanning over 30 years, he has worked in a variety of disciplines including graphic design, architecture and new media, exploring how art shapes the perception of space. Movement is a central theme in Kogler's work, particularly evident when he integrates technology into his artistic practice. His impressive installations include abstract and geometric projections that transform architectural spaces, demonstrating that simple graphic elements can completely change perception without altering the physical structure. Kogler is known for his repetitive motifs such as ants, brains, spheres and interlocking patterns, which he uses to create a psychological landscape. As one of the pioneers of computer-aided art, he continues to explore both two- and three-dimensional forms and uses them as social metaphors.

Kogler is known for his repetitive motifs such as ants, brains, spheres and interlocking patterns, which he uses to create a psychological landscape. As one of the pioneers of computer-aided art, he continues to explore both two- and three-dimensional forms and uses them as social metaphors. Influenced by American minimalism, the artist creates computer-assisted Untitled I with the Prix Ars Electronica award.
His work has been exhibited internationally in many important institutions, including ING Art Center, Brussels (2016); Zagreb Museum of Contemporary Art (2014); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2012); Mamco, Geneva (2007); MoMA, New York (2006); and Shanghai Biennale (2006).
