Hive Networks is a cross-disciplinary research and development project into embedded devices and ubiquitous networked computing, defined as 'multi-faceted transformative devices' - tools that enable users to manage space, time and the boundaries around the self in new and previously unthinkable ways.

Hive Networks is a cross-disciplinary research and development project into embedded devices and ubiquitous networked computing, defined as 'multi-faceted transformative devices' – tools that enable users to manage space, time and the boundaries around the self in new and previously unthinkable ways.

Hive Networks transcends the boundaries between engineering and art. It is a work of art as well as a platform for other artists.

Hive Networks combines the element of content with the element of networking. Each Hive device is capable of gathering content (through webcams, microphones, sensors) and disseminating it (web server, audio/video live streams, Bluetooth, WLAN). At the same time each Hive device also acts as a node in the network, capable of storing and forwarding data. Taking those two elements together means that the perception of the network changes. The network is no longer only a connectivity structure through which access to the global internet is facilitated, but it becomes a content structure, a hiving network of desires and cultural/artistic creations.
