ARLA (Audile Receptives Los Angeles, or A Ripe Little Archive, or Annie, Rachel, Linda, Alice) was founded in the spring of 2011 with filmmaker Vera Brunner-Sung, artist Elana Mann, choreographer Kristen Smiarowski, and musician Juliana Snapper. The collective utilized the listening strategies developed by the composer Pauline Oliveros, techniques of Jungian psychology, and the history of social practice as a jumping off point to create new visual and performance art. ARLA performed at the Getty Museum, Los Angeles, for the opening of the Pacific Standard Time exhibition, and also within the Occupy movement.
