Field stations, as Western intelligence services’ spying facilities are called, are shielded from the public. They are hidden in deserts and forests or under giant white domes – visible monuments to invisible communication networks. In a concert / performance, the duo “SKILLS” creates a spectrum of meanings symbolically charged by transmission-, reception- and surveillance technologies. A choreography involving microphones, antennae, voices from a laptop, bugs and audiotapes.
