Life and career
Michal Wisniowski was born in communist Poland, from where his family fled to Western Europe seeking political asylum and eventually settling in West Germany. In 1995 Wisniowski emigrated again, from Germany to the US.
He studied fine art and philosophy at Rocky Mountain College, and after receiving his Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2003 moved to North Carolina. During his time on the East Coast Wisniowski began his career as an emerging artist in the contemporary pop art genre.
In 2007 he founded Aniwave, the first and only anime film festival on the North Carolina coast, a direct result of his interest in otaku sub-culture. In 2009, Michal Wisniowski debuted a solo exhibition under the title "[ peripheral / interface ]" which met with attention from local press as "a sure-footed step forward."
