 The Intelligent Guerilla Beehive is a bio-art project on the edge of art and science. It combines in a radical way smart materials, biomimetic forms and biotechnology, and it evokes issues of sustainability and biodiversity. This radically new device is inspired by the intelligence, complexity and self-organisation of bee colonies, and it tackles a domain where human and non-human actors collaborate to maintain the resilience of an ecosystem in decline.

 The Intelligent Guerilla Beehive is a shelter for swarming bee colonies, prototyped out of organic materials and powered by green energy.  It is a bio-technological sensing device that measures the health of the environment, and as well it monitors the wellbeing of bee colony living inside. Bacteria -living in a biofilm on the outer skin of the beehive- send out warnings by adapting their colour to different degrees of environmental contamination. Bacteria living on the inner side of the beehive’s skin support the bees in their struggle against the Varroa mite. The Intelligent Guerilla Beehive is a shelter for swarming bee colonies, prototyped out of organic materials and powered by green energy.  It is a bio-technological sensing device that measures the health of the environment, and as well it monitors the wellbeing of bee colony living inside.

-Series of microbial skins, coloured with vegetal dyes: Indigo Blue, Black Oak Gall, Campèche, Hibiscus, Stinging Nettles, Cochineal. All vegetal dye matter is grown in de rooftop garden, some dyes are processed from organic matter collected during travels (Black Oak Gall, California – Cochineal, La Gomera)+Series of microbial skins, grown in a symbiotic action by //Acetobacter xylinum// bacteria and yeast cells. These skins are coloured with vegetal dyes: Indigo Blue, Black Oak Gall, Campèche, Hibiscus, Stinging Nettles, Cochineal.

-In her Laboratory for Form and Matter, AnneMarie Maes works on long term speculative research projects. Her laboratory is an open environment for experimentation, a space for contradiction, criticism and evaluation. In the Intelligent Guerilla Beehive project, she combines organic components with living systems and bacteria to create artifacts for the future. She makes micro-organisms grow organic biofabrics and she researches how these fabrics can be enhanced and made useful through embedded electronics and living technology. Navigating between blueprints and ‘Proof of Concept’, her projects and objects can be classified as ‘Future Archaeology’: fragments of a Forgotten World as well as fragments of a World To Come.+In her Laboratory for Form and Matter, AnneMarie Maes works on long term research projects.
