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.
Sachiko M and Ami Yoshida, two of the most prominent members of the Onkyo movement, place much more emphasis on sound texture than on musical structure, distilling elements of techno, noise, and electronic music into a unique hybrid.
From really simple, open instructions, An Unrhymed Chord creates a kind of half-way point between composition and improvisation.
Fernando thinks that when maths is deep, it should be simple and able to be explained by hand gestures. By embodying ideas, we’re able to more clearly think about their cultural implications.
A drone installation populated by flourescent strip lights working in complicity with analogue radios – “all the lights just do their thing”.
Wave Formations is a 5 screen work in which each screen runs through a series of fades and then stroboscopic flashes of colour, to create a series of visual harmonics.
The most sophisticated synthetic music around: timbrally otherwise body music as sonified fictions and auditive sociograms.
How can we imagine bodies not as an end in themselves, but as a medium through which we can become one another’s means?
A recreation of one of Gustav Metzger’s celebrated auto destructive performances.
Discussion: If we approach “care as an event” rather than as a “contract of exchange” then what becomes possible in how we know, care for, and appreciate each other?
This event honoured those individuals who achieved the status of Icon during the period of 1986-1990.
Solo performance by Diamanda Galás one of the great artists of the last forty years. Hers is an emotional expressionism of demonic shrieks, operatic falsettos, glottal clicks and diabolical growls.
An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.
