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.
This mini, late-night ball will include categories inspired by the events earlier in the weekend.

Includes: a classic of innovative computer graphics, ex-pat Scot McLaren on form, a riotous psychedelic oil show with a Soft Machine accompaniment, subtle manipulation of data feedback, a colourful road movie and a reworking of a lost Paul Sharits film.

Improvising violinist Angharad Davies performing with pianists Tisha Mukarji and Andrea Neumann.
A welcoming intermission between events, open to the public.
A dance party love letter to our community, expressing the joy of relation in the abstract and through actual physical proximity.
