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.
A festival hewn from passions for experimental music, film and visual art and for a passion in figuring out how they can relate to, cross-fertilise and inspire and each other.

A temporary archive and research space tracing the ways in which sound and audition move through everyday life.
Robin Hayward – exploring the micro-sounds of a tuba, filling slowly with sand.

What does it mean to listen with the mind as well as the ears? A solo performance from the great avant-garde pianist.
An audio report for the NATOarts board of directors that seeks to promote global security and stability through the exhibition of works of conceptual art.
Can a musician create a sonic photograph; something with a depth of field, where you can hear sounds and their interconnections, much as you see objects and their relationships in a photo? Could a filmmaker use musical concepts to represent landscape?
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.
A cinema of the mind, a film to take place in the viewers’ imagination(s).
