HIVE © Kurt Hentschläger



HIVE puts the visitor into a maelstrom of amorphous human figures, which are less prominent as individuals but appear as an interconnected meta-body or hive. Generative in nature, being a real-time computed construct, HIVE takes on a notion of artificial life and organism, in eternal motion and interplay, without a beginning or end.
HIVE's loosely choreographed motion, light and sonic patterns create an immersive, highly dynamic landscape, a puIsing and swirling and enveloping audiovisual matter. The sound in HIVE is created by the events present- induding swarm motion and behavior as weil as changes in light and color. All visual appearances render a sonic expression.

Premiered 28 May 2011 at Borusan Music House, Istanbul (Turkey), as part of "Madde-I?ik 2" exhibition.
