Peter Schweri (20 June 1939, Dietikon – 25 November 2016) was a Swiss artist, painter, illustrator, photographer, and, from 2008 onward, a music composer.

During this period, he also worked as an interior designer and created an art film—a precursor to today's music videos—for a disco in Milan.

[3] During this time, he collaborated and interacted with other notable artists residing in Carona, such as Meret Oppenheim, David Weiss, Markus Raetz, Urs Lüthi, Christoph Wenger, and Anton Bruhin.

During his time in Greece, he spent a year windsurfing and living out of a Mercedes D190 van, which he had personally customized.

As a result of their collaboration, Schweri was invited to work at an office in the ETH Zurich computer center,[9] where he remained from 1994 until 2001, the onset of his blindness.

During this period, Schweri and Gutknecht developed the Sakkara system, which allowed the drafting of "visual scores" for art compositions and both computer- and internet-based presentations.

These evolutions enabled artistic forms to change fundamentally in real time, with durations ranging from a few seconds to several billion years, depending on the configuration of the totem.

Due to a Caldwell-Luc operation, performed without anesthesia during his childhood, Peter Schweri’s vision steadily deteriorated over the years.

Despite being completely blind, Schweri learned to use the Yamaha Motif XS8 Music Workstation, while Stella Diess mastered the software for post-production on the computer.

Schweri approached his music compositions with the same dedication and precision as he had previously applied to his visual art, continuing to research and refine his creations with great intensity.

At that time, I would not have thought, that I would ever be able to visualize the full "ArtCode86" Paul Tanner, director of the Graphic Collection at ETH Zurich, and artist David Weiss recommended Peter Schweri for the Zollikon 2003 Art Prize.
