Hive (2021)
Exhibition / Performance
Farzadnia, F. Hive. [Modular kinetic architecture]. Exhibited at Online at the Annual Fifteen show. 19 February 2021 - 5 March 2021. (Unpublished)

Hive is a modular kinetic architecture inspired by bee colony behaviour. Certain types of Mexican honeybees produce a wavelike cascade by ‘shimmering’ when they feel threatened. When a wasp or another big insect come too close to the hive, the honeyb... Read More about Hive.
