DEL+ALT+CTRL
An Interactive Media Opera in Eight Movements
and Video Projection Installation
DEL+ALT+CTRL is an interactive media opera in eight movements and installation
using four-channel panoramic digital imagery to confront how we experience our bodies and our
environment. We experience the exterior of our bodies intensely through gesture; we experience
the interior of our bodies intensely through our contact with food.
The concept of opera to the 21st century: the aria in the 21st century is not just the song,
but a multisensory, interactive experience.
The initial inspiration for this undertaking was a news photograph in The New York Times
taken in Ramallah, Palestine, in which the starkness of the landscape complemented the
disquieting aggression of human-drawn boundaries and re-definition of homeland.
DEL+ALT+CTRL is an interactive media opera designed to create an immersive,
multi-sensory experience that will juxtapose images with sounds, live interactions with projected
media, sung music and spoken words with recorded nature and industrial sounds, printed texts,
movement with stillness, brightness with dark and power and control juxtaposed with
randomness.
The work is structured around Eight Movements:
1. Prelude
2. Song Creates Gesture
3. Gesture Creates Heritage
4. Heritage Creates Harvest
5. Harvest Creates Cities
6. Cities Create Boundaries
7. Boundaries Create Deletion of Memory
8. Coda

Mirosław Rogala (born 1954, in Poland) is a Polish-born American video artist and interactive artist.

He is known for performances and installations that challenge the audience/user's perceptual control and that lead into a dialogue about the nature of art and existence. Dr. Miroslaw Rogala works in a broad range of media of an experimental and transformative nature. Primarily his work has been interactive installations consisting of multi-layered, multi-channeled video displays that invite the viewer to transform the space themselves. Through several transformative systems that entail grids of sound, space, movement, light, and image, he creates a new conception of environment. 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 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, the Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie (ZKM) at Karlsruhe, Germany, the Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw, Poland, and the Goodman Theatre, Chicago. He has collaborated frequently with the (art)n Laboratory in Chicago.

Rogala has taught at several art universities, including the Pratt Institute, Carnegie Mellon, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Columbia College, and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He received a PhD in CAiiA-STAR Centre for Advanced Inquiry in the Interactive Arts, University of Wales, Newport in 2000 (now known as the Planetary Collegium). He is currently a Professor and Director at Knowledge Systems Institute in Skokie, Illinois.
