Polish Impact: Ha!wangarda Festlab 2016 in New York City

This September New York City is going to see the best of Polish avant-garde and experimental writing and digital poetry. We want to tell the American audience about established genres and artists who are well-known brand names, as well as heretical activities, considered juvenile and often created by pre high-school youngsters, indeed. So we aim to narrate contemporary Poland using a range of practices: from liberature, artists' books, e-literature, demoscene, facebook games, to dank memes. Festival curators, connected with Korporacja Ha!art, will focus on phenomena celebrating the local, programmatically avoiding the universal, but which can be attractive to the international audience precisely because these are local specialties. Ha!wangarda: Polish Impact will also host well-known American artists who have had strong links with Polish experimental writing scene (such as Nick Montfort, Michael Joyce, Carolyn Guyer, and Steven Zultanski). Come and join in Ha!wangarda events this year: the fest will happen in popular places in Manhattan and several venues in Brooklyn. Expect and enjoy: an exhibition of most unusual books, a workshop, presentations, crazy performances featuring digital media, and even... quite traditional poetry readings.

New York City 22.09–2.10.2016

Polish Impact is a humorous guide to experimental, digital, and otherwise unconventional Polish literature and creative writing. The larger than life figure of Ubu Le Roi boastfully shows foreign audiences round his extravagant kingdom where creativity mixes with incredible anecdotes and little known literary titbits. Prepared for the Electronic Literature Festival and Conference in Bergen, Norway, in 2015, it offers an overview of liberature, digital literature, social media gamelike activities, generative literary machines, conceptual writing as old as the 18th century, and cyberhoboes as new as can be, in a series of snapshots and mini-articles. It also presents a few foreign writers whose links with Polish culture, though little know, are deep, and feature in their works.  The second, expanded version of the brochure includes the programme of New York 2015 edition of Ha!wangarda Festlab of Experimental Literature, with the catalogue of liberature, bookart and e-lit exhibition in CENTRAL BOOKING Gallery in Manhattan. Enjoy it, folks!

Polish Impact to humorystyczny przewodnik po polskiej literaturze eksperymentalnej, cyfrowej i innych niekonwencjonalnych sposobach pisania. Żartobliwie nadęta figura Ubu króla (jak to na króla przystało) z dumą oprowadza odbiorców po swym awangardowym królestwie, w którym mieszają się zbiegi nieprawdopodobnych zdarzeń i okoliczności z mało znanymi anegdotkami literackimi. W serii mini-artykułów i notek zapoznać się można z liberaturą, pisarstwem cyfrowym, grami społecznościowymi, maszynami do generowania tekstów literackich, pisarstwem konceptualnym sięgającym 18 w. i cyberżulerstwem nowej generacji. Pierwsze wydanie naszego mini-przewodnika ukazało się w związku z Wystawą Literatury Elektronicznej w Bergen w Norwegii w 2015 roku. Obecne, rozszerzone wydanie zawiera program nowojorskiej edycji festiwalu Ha!wangarda in NYC 2016 wraz z katalogiem wystawy liberatury, sztuki książki artystycznej oraz e-literatury.

Już w najbliższy czwartek, 22 września w Nowym Jorku rusza festiwal-laboratorium: Polish Impact: Ha!wangarda 2016. Do Ameryki przywozimy wszystko, co najlepsze w szeroko pojętych współczesnych, awangardowych, eksperymentalnych praktykach pisania w Polsce. Nowojorskiej publiczności chcemy opowiedzieć zarówno o gatunkach i artystach już uznanych, będących marką samą w sobie, jak i aktywnościach heretyckich, uważanych za niepoważne, nierzadko firmowanych przez osoby, które jeszcze nie zaczęły szkoły średniej. Naszym celem jest zatem opowiedzieć Polskę współczesną przez spektrum praktyk: począwszy od liberatury, książek artystycznych, przez e-literaturę, demoscenę, fejsbukowe gry, czy dank memes. Kuratorzy wydarzenia związani z krakowską Korporacją Ha!art skupią się na zjawiskach afirmujących lokalność, programowo nie będących kopią zjawisk uniwersalnych, lecz które właśnie przez tę lokalność mogą zainteresować zagraniczną publiczność.

W Ha!wangardzie wezmą udział Zenon Fajfer, Łukasz Podgórni, Katarzyna Bazarnik, Piotr Marecki i Kaja Puto. Gośćmi festiwalu będą również znani twórcy amerykańscy, mający silne związki z polską sceną pisarstwa eksperymentalnego: Nick Montfort, Michael Joyce, Carolyn Guyer i Steven Zultanski. Na Ha!wangardę pt. Polish Impact zapraszamy do modnych miejsc na Manhattanie oraz Brooklynie. W programie wystawa najbardziej nietypowych książek, warsztaty, prezentacje, szalone performanse z użyciem mediów cyfrowych, a nawet… tradycyjne czytanie poezji.

Festiwal rozpocznie się 22 września otwarciem wystawy liberatury, book artu i e-litu w galerii Central Booking, prowadzonej przez Maddy Rosenberg na Manhattanie. W piątek 23 września przenosimy się do modnych dzielnic Brooklynu, Bushwick i Williamsburga, gdzie w samo południe podczas brunchu w popularnej Charlotte Pattiserie w opowiemy o dzisiejszej Polsce w serii memów. Po południu w bibliotece-galerii Wendy's Subway odbędzie się prezentacja liberatury – niezwykłej literatury, w której książka i tekst tworzą organiczną całość, mogącej nawet przybrać kształt butelki (wykład Katarzyny Bazarnik dopełni liberacka poezja Zenona Fajfera). Tego dnia zaprezentowana zostanie także demoscena, wyjątkowa subkultura mistrzów artystycznego programowania na Amigę, commodore i inne antyczne komputery. Również w Wendy's Subway, w sobotę Kaja Puto przedstawi opowieści o demoludach na podstawie fejsbukowej gry Keleti blok blokki, a Piotr Marecki pokaże trzy eksperymentalne animacje duetu Shuty i Bochniak: Matrix, Trip i Cargo, wyprodukowane przez Korporację Ha!art.

W niedzielę 26 września wracamy do Central Booking, gdzie odbędzie się premiera Zegara Bezczasowości/Clock of Timelessness Zenona Fajfera. Tenkinetyczny poemat stanowi kluczową część projektu budowy wież zegarowych w Krakowie i w Nowym Jorku, w których na tarczy zamiast cyfr pojawią się litery słowa BEZCZASOWOŚĆ/TIMELESSNESS, a okrągłe godziny, zamiast nerwowym biciem, odmierzane będą rytmem poetyckich fraz. Następnie Łukasz Podgórni przedstawi cyberperformans, w którym refleksje na temat niuansów życia podtrzymywanego zdalną pracą przed komputerem mieszać się będą z samplami do syntezatorów mowy do beatboxingu – słowem, zamieni zmierzch awangardy w cyberimprezkę. Na zakończenie wieczoru w ramach dyskusji panelowej "OffBOOK: między analogowym a cyfrowym" polscy kuratorzy i artyści oraz zaproszeni goście: Nick Montfort, Carolyn Guyer, Michael Joyce, Steven Zultanski, znani twórcy amerykańscy, mający silne związki z polską literaturą eksperymentalną, oraz artystka i kuratorka Maddy Rosenberg, będą rozmawiać o przenikaniu się literatury druku i mediów cyfrowych.

Następnie w środę 29 września, w Brooklyn Public Library w dzielnicy Greenpoint, specjalnie dla Polonii zaprezentujemy spektakl poetycki Widok z głębokiej wieży Zenon Fajfera (scenariusz Teresa Nowak), w którym hipertekstową poetykę labiryntu rozświetla nić epifanii. Festiwal zakończy sięw niedzielę 2 października w Central Booking liberackimi warsztatami kolażu poetyckiego prowadzonymi przez Katarzynę Bazarnik oraz anglojęzyczną wersją spektaklu FajferaView from the Deep Tower, w którym poeta zaprezentuje wybór wierszy z dwóch ostatnich tomików – Powieki i Widok z głębokiej wieży.

Event: Brunch z Korporacją Ha!art czyli Młoda Polska w Memach / Brunch with Ha!art or Young Poland in Memes (presentation in Polish) by Kaja Puto, Łukasz Podgórni, Piotr Marecki

Event description: Contemporary Poland can be narrated through different media and genres: popular fiction, movies, TV news and reports, as well as popular Internet forms such as memes. During a relaxed brunch session the panelists will share with the audience a selection of famous Polish caramel fudge ("krówki") and of most important memes, ranging from the viral, mainstream ones to the fringe ones and so-called dank memes. These subversive pieces are ironic commentaries on life in today’s Poland. They offer a unique story of current conflicts, mixing contemporary language, a sense of humor, and "memic celebrities.”

Event: Liberature: poetry bound to the book, a talk and poetry presentation by Katarzyna Bazarnik

Event description: Liberature is a genre embracing literary works in which the writer deliberately fuses text and material features of the book in order to create an integral piece of literary art. Proposed in 1999 by Polish poet Zenon Fajfer and theoretically developed by Katarzyna Bazarnik, the concept grew out of the couple's triple-codex-book Oka-leczenie [Mute-Eye-Late], the work that stimulated a distinct trend in contemporary Polish literature. But such an approach to creative writing can be traced back to practices of the avant-garde, Mallarme's symbolist revolution, Sterne's playful treatment of publishing conventions, and visual poetry. The talk will point to these connections, but focus on how the poetic word can inhabit spaces of the book, and will include reading from a few liberatic poems by Zenon Fajfer.

 

6 pm

Event: Demoscene Poetry presented by Piotr Marecki

Event description: The aim of the presentation is to introduce and put in context the phenomenon of scene poetry, which stems from demoscene activities. The demoscene was an almost exclusively European phenomenon, which developed in the 80’s and 90’s among the first generation of teenge geeks growing up using PCs. This exceptional type of creative activity was based on collaborative work in the field of digital media and computational art. The most important genre of the scene were demos, i.e. programs whose only purpose was to impress the expert audience and demonstrate possibilities of a computer. The demoscene has survived as a unique subculture of highly skilled computer artists, but is little known outside the “uninitiated.” Demos are created in real time during demoparties, as their effects are generated by a processor processing input data according to an algorithm. The audience of demo parties consists of other participants, who are deeply involved in the scene and can appreciate the beauty of algorithms. Many demos are a kind of video clips, hence the demoscene was usually contextualized as digital media and audiovisual art. But there are several demos whose integral part is constituted by text and poetry. Among the sceners this type of work is called scene poetry. The presentation will include examples of such demos, collected during research of the scene environment and meetings with demosceners.

4 pm

Event: Kaja Puto, presentation of a facebook game "Keleti blok blokki"

Event description: Keleti blok blokki (Hungarian for 'the apartment blocks of the Eastern Block') is a social game played on Facebook in which players try to guess the geographical location of apartment blocks featured on screens from Google Street View submitted by one of the participants. The photos can be censored for obvious clues (like signs or registration plates). The game counters the popular belief that apartment blocks looked all alike, from Eastern Germany all the way to Vladivostok. In the wider context, the game challenges the perception of Eastern Bloc countries as one monolith, described by the Western rulers as "the East".

Keleti blok blokki constitutes a research subject at the intersection of visual anthropology (exploring semiotics of urban space mediated by the Google Street View camera), sociology (with its focus on stereotypes about the Eastern Bloc countries successfully employed by participants of the game), and digital literature (the explanations the participants write for their guesses often have the form of short, witty, literary descriptions.) The presentation will focus on this last aspect, and proposes to consider these short forms as literary flash non-fiction.

 

5 pm

Event: Matrix, Ha!art's experimental animations presented by Piotr Marecki

Event description: Matrix is a reconstruction of an old Slavonic myth of creation. To tell the story recovered from an abyss of the past Tomasz Bochniak invented a special, experimental  technology, which involves using a glass matrix and stop motion animation. Sławek Shuty, a writer, performer and intermedial artist, prepared a storyline that matches the ingenuity of the new technology. The effect is dazzling! Trip, another experimental animation by the same artists, features a hero suffering from the writer’s block. When the Author decides to induce inspiration chemically, a doped biscuit transports him, like the fairytale Alice, into a land of hallucinogenic visions, which brings about in an increase of his creative potential. However, the depths of imagination are inhabited by demons that must be confronted... Trip is a tongue-in-cheek account of an internal voyage, an animated penetration to the Buddhist bardo in the post-Monty-Python style, a black comedy tale about the transformation of a creative impasse into fulfillment. The show will end will a bonus: another surprise animation recently finalised by the same creative duo.

3 pm

Zenon Fajfer, Clock of Timelessness / Zegar Bezczasowości presentation of city clock tower project for New York and Krakow by Zenon Fajfer, and launch of his kinetic poem

Event description: Launch of Zenon Fajfer’s kinetic poem, intended to be the key part of his site-specific project. In the past great cities boasted city clocks whose chiming paced the life of their inhabitants. Today's clocks are disciplining tools, urging us to hurry up. Fajfer’s poetic idea is to inspire people to slow down and experience a moment of contemplation. In order to do so he wants to build city clock towers in New York and Krakow whose faces will feature the 12 letters of the word “TIMELESSNESS” and three other versions: BEZCZASOWOŚĆ / ATEMPORALITÀ / ATEMPORALITÉ, instead of digits, with every hour displaying a poem instead of sounding a chime. The clocks will dialogue with each other, thus forming a symbolic bridge across the Atlantic. Poem translated by Katarzyna Bazarnik, programmed by Olga Dwornik.

 

3.30 pm

Łukasz Podgórni, Post-poetry, cyberhoboness, speech synthesis workout

Event description: In an audiovisual performance, Łukasz Podgórni, one of the leading digital poets in Poland, experiments with combining language, code, jpgs found via Google Graphics, movement, and sound. He explores the artistic and aesthetic consequences of Internet overdose, when people are living glued to a computer and lack offline activity. His digital performance generates reflections on life supported by telework, harnesses speech synthesizer samples with beatboxing, turning the twilight of the avant-garde into a rather weird party. See more of his work at http://pdgr.tumblr.com and http://szafranchinche.ovh.org

 

4-6 pm

Event: “OFF-BOOK. Between the analogue and the digital”: a round table on artists’ books, liberature and electronic literature as contemporary forms of art and creative writing.

Panelists include: Maddy Rosenberg, Katarzyna Bazarnik & Zenon Fajfer, Piotr Marecki, Łukasz Podgórni, Carolyn Guyer & Michael Joyce, Nick Montfort, Steven Zultanski. Moderated by Kaja Puto.

Event: Zenon Fajfer,spektakl poetycki “Widok z głębokiej wieży / View from the Deep Tower(poetry reading in Polish with selected poems in English)

Event description: A poetic performance in Polish by a leading avant-garde poet, who surprises the audience with his unexpectedly lyrical voice. It combines one path through his labyrinthine, hypertextual poems of Powieki (Eyelids, 2013), presented on the screen, with nostalgic explorations of the past in the poems from Widok z głębokiej wieży (View from the Deep Tower, 2015). Scripted by Teresa Nowak, with selected poems in Katarzyna Bazarnik’s translations into English, and kinetic, hypertextual poems programmed by Olga Dwornik.

3-5 pm

Katarzyna Bazarnik’s workshop: Liberatic Collage or try writing in someone else’s words

Event description: Collage is a well-known technique of combining different materials in a piece of intermedial art. It originated as innovative poetics of the early 20th century avant-garde. Recently, the Nobel-Prize winning poets Herta Müller and Wisława Szymborska created amazing collage poems, using words and photos cut out of newspapers and magazines. Workshop participants will be invited to follow in their footsteps to create their own poetic commentaries, remixing and recycling newspapers, magazines, advertising leaflets and the like.

 

5 pm

Zenon Fajfer, poetry reading View from the Deep Tower

Event description: The leading Polish avant-garde author leads the audience along one of thousands of paths in his maze-like, hypertextual poetry volume Powieki (Eyelids), only to offer a lyrical relief with poems from another liberatic collection Widok z głębokiej wieży (View from the Deep Tower). Here a nostalgic exploration of the past mixes with irony or tenderness colouring present reflections. Translation and reading in English by Katarzyna Bazarnik, poem animations programmed by Olga Dwornik, script by Teresa Nowak.

What is Ha!wangarda:

 

Ha!wangarda International Festival of Experimental Literature, organized every year in October in Kraków since 2010 is a hybrid type of event: it combines a festival, laboratory, flying university, literary café, and a space where knowledge about and a lexicon for discussing unconventional literature are created. The festival has employed different formulas: a media art show, performance, presentation, translation, workshop, lecture, exhibition, literary brunch, to present over 100 works from different corners of the world. Presentations and performances are carried out in national languages, and often facilitated by translations. Apart from e-lit, the festival program covers video games, the demoscene, visual experiments, liberature, and avant-garde writing, thus setting e-lit against a broader context of other forms of digital art and unconventional literature. The festival has also involved real time, collaborative writing (story generators, google autocomplete poetry written during workshops, or a collaborative novel created between subsequent festlab editions).

The festival owes its unique character partially to the local fabric of the traditional literary life, as it is organized in Kraków, a city with a long, lively tradition of literary meetings and disputes in its numerous art cafes, where on-going struggles between generations of traditionalists and artists avant-garde have always taken place. Ha!wangarda's draws on this heritage to seek out emerging, innovative art. Especially that in Poland literary life has almost always thrived outside academia, as writers do not hold university posts, and creative writing courses are frowned upon by the scholarly and literary circles alike. Despite its fringe character, Ha!wangarda does have several ties with academic circles, praised by Anna Nacher, a researcher from the Jagiellonian University, as one of those sites where what is best in academia meets with what is most attractive and inspiring outside it. Ha!wangarda may be compared to and contrasted with events like the E-Poetry festival or the ELO conferences, whose organizers do not want to replicate familiar models but seek and affirm alterative ones. The organizational model is also different; most events are not held on university campuses, but in spaces open to diverse audiences: in cafes, libraries or independent galleries, and no registration, nor fees are required. The lack of rigor allows for autonomous, anarchic and unpredictable gestures (like spontaneous announcement of manifestos or engaging with accidental, “nonspecialist” audiences).
