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.
Exploring the interplay between punk sinewave aggression, high-speed video sequences and stroboscopic lighting

Slapstick comedy, monologue, and a kind of live sculpture transformed through video, props, musical instruments and make-up.
Jarrod Fowler creates a social space where layered one-to-one live encounters with the audience become sonic material.
The Echo project is an installation as audio guide for a crowd. And at the same time it’s a private conversation: with you, as one of 20 people in a room, a sort of public intimacy.

Smith/Stewart set up allegorical situations over which they often have little to no control, but which instigate explorations of dependence and trust, the body, sex and death.

Julius’ “small music” features simple snatches of found sound, played back through small speakers, often set in bowls of pigment and dirt which shimmies in the vibrations.
