Arika have been creating events since 2001. The Archive is space to share the documentation of our work, over 600 events from the past 20 years. Browse the archive by event, artists and collections, explore using theme pairs, or use the index for a comprehensive overview.
Sound as it is endured by space and the body: 15 participants lie face down and pound the floor with a microphone one thousand times, each person choosing their own rhythm and intensity.
Tormented and drawn-out high-pitched yelps and drones, all interleaved with periods of torpid silence.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
5 days of film, music, discussion and study of our collective incompleteness—arrayed against the colonial ordering of how we come to know the world—practicing how we might exist otherwise, right here and now. Can we start to know and practice the world to come?
Beatriz will explore her thinking, on film as translation, plural subjectivity or land-based militancy. Discussion will centre around her work Oriana and its companion piece Oenanthe, which will be screened in full.
Investigate film as language, via the language of film reduced to the basic units of film and language. A film as text in which each frame is a single word.
Bringing together artists working with music, sound, film and the moving image, KYTN 2008 saw performances, improvisations, screenings and installations over three days at DCA.
A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
Somewhere between performance, stripped down theatre and an intense kind of public learning or maybe even a public hearing.
A back and forth between Fred and Fernando on the transits and obstructions between mathematics and poetics, and how both help us to think from the other side.
Why won’t the idea of the particle or individual go away? Is the measurement problem in physics a documentary film issue? What can a human be without its crutches of life-time and measure?
Artist Derek Lodge running a specially designed social space, somewhere for conversation, story-telling and interaction.
