During an extensive R&D phase, we have created Hivewares - a range of software tools that transform industrially built, inexpensive, small consumer devices into the much smarter species of Hive device. With Hivewares we offer an easy to use media toolkit that creates networks that can see, hear, move and communicate using a suite of applications that enable a device to gather and disseminate digital content. Now we invite you to explore the current development phase of the project and hear about art projects past, present and future. We welcome media practitioners, curators, organisers and researchers to examine the project, give advice and come up with ideas for future developments. www.hivenetworks.net
