ARKHE
Constructing Tactile Relationships with the Intangible
Our Mission
“Arkhé” means origin, beginning, or source of action; it also describes the first principle from which others are derived. Bearing this in mind, the Arkhé project aims to help people identify, understand, and interact with the fundamental, intangible relationships that exist around us. We achieve this by simplifying experiences to their base components and reframing core interactions in order to evoke complex emotions. Our projects share this universal goal despite their many different forms, ranging from educational tools to art installations.
Join us at the Rochester Fringe Festival!
We're excited to invite you to our interactive installation, Living Room. Experience the intangible at the following showtimes:
- Sept 15, 6 - 9 pm
- Sept 16, 10 - 9 pm
- Sept 17, 11 - 5 pm
- Sept 22, 6 - 9 pm
- Sept 23, 10 - 9 pm
Arrive when you wish, leave when you like. The experience is ongoing. More information at rochesterfringe.com
