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.

EXHIBITS

Arkhe's projects have been demonstrated at a variety of shows, including Imagine RIT, the Rochester Fringe Festival, and the Frameless XR Symposium. If you are interested in having Arkhe at your show, don't hesitate to contact us!
