About The Artwork

"The Artist Miroslaw Rogala here attempts a much more elaborate working with color and presents a color image of train tracks surrounded by what look like poppies in full bloom. A series of metal bridge-like structures perch over the tracks, creating an elaborate pattern of “x”s lined up horizontally above the track that recedes into the distance. The overlaid geometric markings are in primary shades of red, yellow and light blue, and black and gray. The addition of color here allows the red markings to pick up the shade of the poppy flowers, but at the same time makes the markings look less linear or grid-like, more separate and individualized. What is particularly different here is the way in which certain markings seem to join with the picture rather than overlay it. A pale blue triangle, for example, is positioned right over a piece of signage, so at first glance it looks like it could be part of the sign rather than imposed just above it. We interpret it as an interpolation over the image because of the two red triangles that accompany it in the top and bottom right corners of the picture. Similarly, it becomes ambiguous which of the vertical black bars are imposed from without and which are a part of the metal structure that hovers over the tracks. By contrast, certain pieces of geometric signage, like an inverted “v” shape in the bottom middle of the image, or an elongated white triangle at the far right, look almost like they could have been put there by the artist. This is arguably the most complex image in the bracket series, and in it the content of the image suggests three different levels of reality: the flowers and trees suggest the natural, wild world; the industrial imposition of steel tracks and structures overlays the natural world; the digital world of shapes and colors in turn superimposes itself on the two previous environments. And the absence of the train on the tracks creates just the faintest whiff of narrative.

Mirosław Rogala (born 1954, in Poland) is a Polish- American video artist and interactive artist. Miroslaw Rogala works in a broad range of media of an experimental and transformative nature. Primarily his work has involved interactive installations consisting of multi-layered, multi-channeled video displays that invite viewers to transform the space themselves. He considers the closing gap between nature and urban life through the advent of new technologies, and finds a harmony in which the two interact and evolve into a cohesive new system that reflects our changing world. His work has been exhibited/ in collections at the world-wide institutions: the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM) at Karlsruhe, Germany; Sao Paulo Biennale, Brazil; Lyon Biennale, France; The Brooklyn Museum; Anthology Film Archives; The Alternative Museum; Exit Art, New York, the Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw, Poland, and the Goodman Theatre, Chicago. For much of the first decade of the twenty-first century, Miroslaw Rogala has been involved with several series of artworks for which he has transformed photographs as post-photographs using Mind's-Eye-View a 360 computer software. The "Transformed City" series works with pictures taken in cities such as Kraków, New York, Chicago, Taipei or Istanbul among many others. The "Transformed Landscape" and "Transformed Garden "series presents still lives of fruits and vegetables fragmented into unstable, dynamic compositions and are a part of his Interactive Media Opera in Eight Movements: "DEL+ALT+CTRL".
