Hard-Core: Strictly Digital
1 August (Saturday)
7.00 PM / Wyspa Institute of Art
Admission:
Tuesday - Sunday / 11.00 AM – 6.00 PM
Industry 4.0, 4K, 4G, higher resolutions, faster data-transfers, smarter industries, our world is moving quicker and getting increasingly complex. If Art often tended to reflect these radical changes in our post-industrial landscape, current transformations have been slow to manifest within the artistic field. Art adapted the existence of internet, but, did however force the rigidity of a white-cubed space upon the ‘borderless’ capacities praised in the early days of the net.
AFK (Away From Keyboard) based notions have been applied to digital spaces helping the user to navigate and making the otherwise abstract binary environment familiar. HARD-CORE’s interest lies in reversing that mechanism, making unforeseen ideas plausible with the aid of algorithmic processing. In order to overcome the preconditions of white-cubed exhibitions, an external factor needs to take control. For this reason, HARD-CORE has developed Asahi, a series of algorithmic curatorial robots in order to explore digital scenarios applied to physical space.
With the exhibition Strictly Digital, HARD-CORE pushes several propositions forward that may change the chassis of exhibition-making as we know it. It takes inspiration in the digital trademarks that reshape our environment, borrowing elements from algorithmic structures, databases, global connectivity and the fluidification of authorship as a base for collaborative processes.
Strictly Digital is an exhibition that gathers multiple works created collaboratively through the multi-headed organ HARD-CORE.
Hard-Core: Strictly Digital is a part of a programme of Alternativa 2015: Garden of Everyday Errors

Alternativa 2015 - Vernacularity
12 June (Friday )
17:00 hours / Hall 90B, the premises of the former Gdańsk Shipyard
Admission free
The Vernacularity exhibition is planned for the entire summer. Until the end of September it remains our alphabet of everyday phenomena, a field of reference, a reservoir of forms and techniques. Vernacular is perhaps not a very popular term although it refers exactly to that which is common. It refers to the indigenous, to the language of daily communication, local knowledge, technology and a mode of representation. Today we speak of vernacular architecture, such as photography or graphic design. Vernacularity was chosen as the theme of our main exhibition which allows for a labyrinth of material works, paintings, sculptures, textiles, video and diverse activities linked to the objet trouvé , natural objects, techniques and technologies of the everyday, as well as quotidian substances and activities. It puts together the visual vocabulary of the common, reveals the links between the domestic and the relational.
Our matter of concern and inquiry are natural findings such as plants or stones; and the aesthetics of found objects as well as their ability to generate new forms; the painterly skills of the nail specialist and the anonymous talents of weavers. We are interested in vernacularity in photo representations and repetition in everyday chores. We refer to language, to what is translatable and untranslatable in a local context. This is perhaps due to it being untranslatable, often considered as a disqualifying aspect of work in the international circulation of art, as being a powerful generator of forms.
Garden of Everyday Errors: Vernacularity entails its sister project from the previous year: Everydayness and clasps together the five-year long programme line of Alternativa, tracing substantial phenomena from a local context such as labour and leisure, estrangement, materiality, utopian thinking and the tactics of everyday life. It is dedicated to occasionally noticed forms which are so unremarkable that they are nearly exceptional.
Please feel welcome not only to the exhibitions but also to actively participate in the overall programme. See you soon!
