r a k e t a is a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration and experiments
within art, design, architecture and digital media.
r a k e t a have turned their backs on the empty houses and
create spaces of their own, outside ordinary art spaces. They research and conserve
their own histories creating their own sources of information. Often they use
public space for their appearances and in inviting other artists to participate
they open up a new autonomous artistic activity. Using light, film/ moving image,
photography and objects as means of expression, they invite the visitors to take
part in a communication process.
r a k e t a uses footage of ordinary objects, fragments or events. It could be a woman
walking in the street, the rain falling, or the vast sea reaching a shore. It
is then transferred to a screen or a wall. Often projected at places where
they seldom would appear.
