Miroslaw Rogala

Miroslaw Rogala was born 1954, Known was one of the most important interactive media artists in the world. By trying to challenge man's relationship to nature and to his fellow man.


He does this by creating Large-scale complexes, that creates the idea of placement for the viewer. Where the viewer is pulled toward a center point. Creating a movement around the image but in the end the eye goes returns back the center.
He brings the viewer viewer into his world with interactive media software, digital photography, installations, music and performance works. Creating multitude of impressions and the variety of his visually transmitted world make each encounter a new experience.


His news photography and creative imagery engaging landscape and still life images transformed through the use of combined technology involving a specialized Minds-Eye-View 360 degree perspective software.

His work create a wonder to pieces and new life to how we view an image.

A Moment Between Darkness and Light

"A Moment Between Darkness and Light" is my second solo gallery show. This series focuses on the interplay between shadow and light that can be found between the emulsion of the film. The effect that is created in these images are a combination of the vignette from a Holga camera and the coffee developer.

I have always believe that an images are more than 2-dimensional objects. That an image is made up with different textures. Textures that can be found between the emulsion and the layering of the lights and darks. The coffee negatives begin to take on a life of there own

The Parliament Of Dreams 16x16

" The Parliament Of Dreams" is an image give the viewer an idea of another world. A place that could be trapped in time or a meet place that is still in use today. What nice about this piece is the vignette around the edges. It creates a blur that enforces a dream like state

Although we have the general concept and impression of what makes an image, photography transforms the 3-dimensional world into a flat 2-dimensional object. It is my opinion that is there is more to this concept of what makes these image.

"Shadow Dancing" 16x16

"Shadow Dancing" is an image deals the play in light and the way the shadows seem to move across the image. Creating an image seems more alive then 2-dimensional object.

Snow, snow, snow

I know I been gone for a bit, I been busy finishing up in school. So here is some pic I took with my Holga. The pic in this post was taken in after a big show storm hit Kansas City. If I remember right it snowed about 15in in one night.

The Reconstruction of a Third Dimension

Although we have the general concept and impression of what an image is, photography is a special kind of image that transforms the 3-dimensional world into a flat 2-dimensional object. However, whether an image is flat or not still raises more questions about what a photograph is and in my opinion there is more to this concept of what makes an image. I think that the viewer needs to focus on subject matter, the process of making a photograph, how the image is constructed, and the space around the image. These ideas help to shape this concept and the idea of an image is.

"East Grant Avenue / South Main Street pt1" 24x16

These ideas are the mainstay and focus of my work. In this way it leads that me though a body of work that began with my use of two dimensional photographs to create a three dimensional image. While working with this process and trying to stay within the confines of photographic realism of the artwork. I think that creating the images in this way might lead to and explore new feelings for the viewer resulting in an image that is images that are three dimensional in appearance and both graphic in style, a and constructed reality, and three dimensional in appearance. In a way this creates an image that is more two and half dimensions in nature. Now these images force the viewer to re-evaluate their perception of space. This expands the image from a two dimensional plane into a space around the image, interlocking the space and idea into one concept that, we can classify as an image. With out this I strongly believe that the focus and meaning is lost to the viewer.

"East Grant Avenue / South Main Street pt2" 24x16

We have the general concept and impression of what an image is. Is an image flat or is there more to the idea of what an photograph is? It is my opinion there is more to this concept of what makes an image. I feel that the viewer needs to focus on subject matter, the process of making a photograph, how the image is constructed, and the space around the image. These ideas help to create this concept and
the idea an image is.

"Doorway" 16x24

These concerns are the mainstay and focus of my work and are what have led me though a body of work that began with my use of two dimensional photographs to create a three dimensional image. While working with this process I have tried to stay within the confines of photographic realism in my artwork. I think that creating the images in this way are leading to explorations of new feelings for the viewer and have resulted in images that are three dimensional in appearance and both graphic in style, and constructed realities that are three dimensional in appearance. In a way this creates an image that is more two and half dimensions in nature and cause the viewer to re-evaluate their perception of space. This expands the image from a two dimensional plane into a space that flows through the image interlocking the space and idea into one concept that we can classify as an image that focuses new kinds of meaning for the viewer.

"Trap gallery"

On Nov 19, 2010 I first showed this body of work at the Trap Gallery in the Kansas City Area. This Body of work focus on Greensburg Ks, a town in south of Kansas that was hit by a F-5 Tornado. 90% of the town was destroyed. I wanted to create a body of work that was about rebuilding the Town. I traveled there for two and half years, documenting the rebuilding process.

Loretta Lux

Loretta Lux was born in 1969 in Dresden, East Germany. Her artwork is better known for her portraits of young children. As you begin to share at these surreal portraits you begin to get a feeling that the kids are keeping some thing from viewer. Their blank stare seems cut though audience. Creating a mystery and a feeling a unrest but a feeling a wonder about the images.

She begin was a painter and she on form, shape and color in her images. She began to develop a signature style--the brushstrokes of her new medium or a feeling of a realistic painting with in the development of her images.

Lux started taking children's portraits about eight years ago, when she shot a couple of frames of her nephew. She feel in love and realize what comes across so vividly in her work. When it comes to her artwork Lux feels that children are the most honest models. That they create a mystery that comes through the image.

She wants people to decide what to see and never forget what they see.
