Swiss artist collective Fragmentin’s new installation, HIVE Index (2024), debuts within the “Abelhat [aβeˈʎat]” exhibition at Cairn Art Centre in Digne (FR). Part of a long-term research project led by Apian, Aladin Borioli’s Ministry of Bees, the work critiques how big agriculture exploits bees with the help of technology. A skeletal, hand-like sculpture, LED stock market signifiers at its tips, tightens its grip on a bee colony, while two short films show modern ways of beekeeping—ethical, unethical—and speculate on their stock market value.
