 The exhibition BEE DEVICES //and other curious observations// is the starting point for the presentation on the research and artistic work of AnneMarie Maes and the Brussels Urban Bee Lab. The work of AnneMarie Maes, media artist and beekeeper, is already since more than six years based on a rigorous research into bees. AnneMarie Maes set up the Brussels Urban Bee Lab in 2009 and this artistic laboratory installed several instrumented beehives on garden roofs in the centre of Brussels. The artists and technicians of Brussels Urban Bee Lab designed sophisticated equipment to monitor and measure the bee colonies, process the data and disseminate these via streaming.  The exhibition BEE DEVICES //and other curious observations// is the starting point for the presentation on the research and artistic work of AnneMarie Maes and the Brussels Urban Bee Lab.

 This research so far instigated a series of installations, objects, graphic works, sound works and workshops that were shown in galleries, festivals and public spaces. It induced an intense interaction with scientists and technologists, partly to build and install the measuring equipment but also to investigate the reasons for the urgent problem of bee colonies starting to die out in all industrialised countries. This research so far instigated a series of installations, objects, graphic works, sound works and workshops that were shown in galleries, festivals and public spaces.

 The installation at IBE will be centered around the multimedia installation //the Scaffolded Sound Beehive//. This immersive sculpture is a reproduction of a Warré beehive on human scale. Installed in the roof of the hive is an eight-channel spatialised sound installation of which the sounds were recorded with eight microphones in a real beehive. Visitors can stand or sit inside the beehive and will have their heads thus literally in a bees’ nest.  The installation Scaffolded Sound Beehive also incorporates three videos. One shows the behaviour in the hive of a bee colony as recorded during 365 days with an infrared camera, the other is an artistic visualisation of the sound data collected in the beehive, a third video is an artistic interpretation of the life in the hive. The installation at IBE will be centered around the multimedia installation //the Scaffolded Sound Beehive//.
