ARTYOU Performance – Drinks n Dreams: Jonas Balmer | Gastronautische Gesellschaft | St.Poz

ARTYOU Performance – Drinks n Dreams

October 21, 4 - 10 p.m.

Steinentorberg 28, Basel

A warm invitation to an event of a different kind!

In the middle of the world of St.Poz, AI cocktails and spoken word mix to create a fantasy hacker cyborg. Featuring Jonas Balmer, the Gastronautische Gesellschaft and of course St.Poz.

Jonas Balmer plays with sounds and words. Sometimes it sounds like spoken word, sometimes like ambient poetry, sometimes like something in between. He lives in Basel and studies transdisciplinarity. For "Drink n Dreams" he creates a compilation of several short performances from his repertoire, which sometimes react more and sometimes less directly to the installation of St.Poz.

The Gastronautische Gesellschaft is a think tank, venture, project studio and food design agency all about food and foodstuffs. Probably best known in Basel is their flagship project "Bäckerei Kult". For "Drinks n Dreams" they will revive their AI cocktail bar; a classic bar at first glance, but whose recipes are composed by an artificial intelligence.

Simone Steinegger and Alex Pipoz together form the duo St.Poz and loosely initiate temporary art projects in private and public spaces, realize exhibitions and develop concepts by invitation, which reflect on the place for which they are conceived.  The focus is on urban interventions with unusual perspectives to open up new narratives and create experiences in which visitors and invited guests can integrate and interact.

For Artstübli, St.Poz has built an installation that transcends space. The scales and proportions are dissolved by architectural volumes to enable a new sense of space with perspective distorted drawings.
