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.
When we look, how do we objectify the body; how can we reflect on our (self) image as a construction?

A stroboscopic and intense sensory overload of flashing abstract forms, cut to ribbons by modified projectors.
Each organ is unique. The project is to find out what makes it unique.

Rhodri Davies plays two deconstructed harps. Lee Patterson examines the sonic properties of burning nuts.
Akio Suzuki and John Butcher performing in an abandoned oil tanker on Hoy.
