AWOS
with JASSS
A performance platform created by JASSS and Ben Kreukniet.
A World of Service (AWOS) is a platform for installations and live performance. Created by Silvia Jiménez Alvarez (aka JASSS) and Ben Kreukniet, each iteration contributes to a world in constant transformation.
A continuously expanding collection of sonic materials, scanned objects and environments defines an ecosystem that morphs between symbolic and abstract.
Computer vision techniques are (mis)used to capture and recycle the present, creating a rapid trajectory through bodies and spaces reflecting psychalogical states and forces.
Within A World of Service, seemingly familiar elements are continuously deconstructed, manipulated and re-transcribed, contemplating how we shape our environment and how it in turn shapes us.
AWOS premiered at Sonar Barcelona 2022, as a resident of Sonar +D.
