review
2 PART SITE SPECIFIC INSTALLATION  AT AN URBAN AND A RURAL LOCATION CONNECTED VIA WEBCAM LIVE STREAMING.  
"Be-Hive" was a  multimedia site specific installation at two separate sites located 198 miles apart. One site was rural, a barn loft in Galesburg, Illinois and the other site was urban, Fassbender  Gallery in Chicago, Illinois. Both sites were connected by a webcam that live streamed the farm installation process to a computer monitor behind the wall at the gallery.  At the conclusion of the barn loft installation a live stream of an observation beehive within the barn was streamed to the gallery monitor until the show concluded.
