Polyfantastica is
Pacific Science Fiction and Fantasy. Its main manifestation is as visual time lines that span 40,000 years of time in a parallel universe. In this paraverse, the 40,000-year timeline follows a para-Polynesian society, as it overcomes death, destruction, and war; connects all human consciousness while retaining individual identity; expands around its planet; and finally, communicates with and explores the mysteries of the galaxy.
Polyfantastica takes many forms, including graphic novels and sculptures. The main Polyfantastica timeline has exhibited at the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT7) at the Queensland Art Gallery in Australia, the Smithsonian’s National Museum for the American Indian, and most recently at the 2019 Honolulu Biennial. One of the things that makes Polyfantastica unique is that its stories are told primarily through images.
Currently, the primary way to interface with Polyfantastica is online. The main timeline is now available in digital form! Because of the size of the document, we have broken it up by era:
Polyfantastica Master Timeline: Wa Rono, Years 10,001 - 20,000
Polyfantastica Master Timeline: Wa Tanaroa, Years 20,001 - 30,000
Polyfantastica Master Timeline: Wa Tane, Years 30,001 - 40,000
In addition, two related e-books are available:
There was also a comic book version of Polyfantastica that ran in the Honolulu Advertiser 2006-2007. It follows the events that kick off the entire Polyfantastica narrative. It can be downloaded here: Download POLYFANTASTICA [published by the Queensland Art Gallery].
