Cyberhive

Bio Art Series: The Recap

Throughout May, IOTA hosted a series of free public exhibitions, events and installations in Halifax, NS.

Whether it’s creating microbial art using yeast, or engaging with a full-body exoskeleton, Bio Art is a practice that transcends the fields of visual art, media art, and science – applied, social and political. This continuously evolving practice also tests (and sometimes breaks) the boundaries of these fields.

Ruth Marsh and IOTA in the CBC News!

“This summer, Marsh is teaming up with IOTA Institute, a Halifax-based arts organization, for what’s called an immersive cinema artist residency. She plans to broadcast her animation inside a nine-metre 360-degree dome that’s meant to mimic a living, breathing beehive.”

IOTA on Indiegogo!

We’ve invited Halifax based artist Ruth Marsh to pilot the residency! The Immersive Experience is a 15-min stop-motion, sound and video piece. The film will feature several hundred cyborg bees for this immersive environment. The presentation will invite viewers to enter into a technologically altered, large-scale beehive.
