Przemyslaw Moskal

I was born and raised in Poland but at the age of 17, I decided to emigrate to the United States where I lived for most of my adult life. I received my Bachelor deegree in Psychology from St. Joseph’s College followed by a Master degree from Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. It was a very fruitful time of my life as I worked, studied and made cutting-edge, interactive art in New York City. After moving to Buffalo, NY where I started my educational career as a professor of Digital Media Arts at Canisius College, I pursued a Doctorate degree in Film Art from Lodz Film School in Poland. In 2018, I moved back to Europe and I currently reside in Stein am Rhein, Switzerland.
