Audiovisual Installation, Stereoscopic Video Projection, 4.1 Sound.



HIVE puts the visitor next to a swirling mass of amorphous human figures, appearing as an
interconnected meta-body or hive, more than as individual beings. HIVE's motion-, light-
and sonic patterns render an immersive, dynamic landscape, without beginning or end.

Moment by moment computer generated, HIVE  suggests an artificial hive organism, stuck
in eternal motion and interplay.

The stereoscopic nature of the projection introduces an almost whimsical, ethereal quality,
rendering a delicate, yet forceful spatial expanse right in front of and around the audience.

The sound in HIVE is created by the events present - including swarm motion and behavior
as well as changes in light and color. All visual appearances translate into a sonic expression.
As the choreography of the work moves through different phases, so does the sound
change its character over time.

HIVE is part of Kurt Hentschläger's "re-animated" body of work, including CORE (2012),
CLUSTER (2009-2012), and MATTER (2012).
