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.
Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
Noise music for the eyes. A 6 screen 16mm projection performance of intense audio and visual stimulus.
Guitar and voice. Keening, droning and mourning. Be ready to release and bring your dis-ease.
An immersive environment where sound is looped through oscillators, radio, guitar pick-ups and video amps to create dense strobing images and colours
Listening to people listening to their own homes. Musicians and actors will listen back to recordings made in local peoples homes on headphones, and interpret/ translate what they are hearing.
Brain boiling duo improvisation by great Japanese no input mixing desk pioneer Toshi Nakamura and french organ philosopher Jean-Luc Guionnet.
A collaborative performance where sound and image are created, performed and mediated by light, water and glass.
In this workshop we will imagine ourselves as time travellers from a glorious and chaotic neurodivergent-led future.
Using violin and cello the duo map out a twilight sonic world that seems to tread the faultlines between improvisation and composition.
A chat, with examples (Zola, H. P. Lovecraft, Hammer Horror), about blackness and the sheer stupid thickness of what has no profundity whatsoever.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
