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.
Are artists powerless in the face of technology? These often whimsical and amusing films are minimal technological interventions and appropriations but maybe also rigorous takes on the role of popular media and culture in our hyper-technological world.
Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
Glasgow. Low-end drone guitarage army in praise of the open chord.
Nina’s going to talk about November, by Hito Steyerl: what and how the film thinks, or about what and how it might makes us think (which is connected, but not the same thing), by watching, and it discussing (with you?).
Freeform Super 8mm documentation of Sunday at Instal 06 by filmmaker Matt Hulse.
An occasion for commotion, and a chorus of motions. Choreography rotating your revolutions and then some.

A day of presentations and discussions on the theme of audio visual perception in the context of experimental music, film and art.
A sort of prayer and conference, a sort of scream and dialogue – a monologue and declaration at the time, addressing how we can build complicity with one another.
How do we sense entanglement? Can the knotting of ropes according to a poem’s rhythm make the social pulse of language matter?
Voguing, drag, clubbing, and the politics of communities making different performances of gender and sexuality visible.
A preposterously heavy, eye of the storm musical tug of war, in which two drummers, electronics and electric guitar fall over each other in a droning crush.
