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.
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.
A celebration of our overabundant social entanglement and complicity, that remind us of how we can see ourselves, stripped of powers’ attempts to grasp us.
What might Carter and Parker’s collaboration tell us about our own performances of responsibility and liberty, whether individual, social or musical?
UK conceptual/ drone/ noise artist, who is seriously posing what might seem to be unanswerable questions of music.
Disused railway turning circle at east end of Union Terrace Gardens, a historically public space at the centre of a regeneration land-grab for the private gain of a local petro-chemical magnate.

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.
Jarringly beautiful and often maniacal expression of hallucinatory and very personal visions.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
A silent performance of (musical) reverberation.
A loud, buzzing stew of electrical light as noise and convulsive electric guitar squall.
Arrive, get settled, be hosted and meet-up in IRL and URL.
