Whether seen as the ultimate capitalists, Buddhists or communards, bees elicit fantasies and fears of social productivity and crisis by turns. This issue is not really about bees of course, but the ‘colony collapse disorder' which is currently threatening the global bee population works as a stark metaphor for the crisis of reproduction that is currently afflicting human society as it is currently configured.

Online Art Commissions, 2005/6 Commissions & Prizes

As part of Metamute's relaunch, we have started a project of online art commissions funded by Arts Council London, the first of which is Out-of-Sync's The Fourth Floor. Over the next year, curators Timothy Murray and Diana McCarty will introduce and contextualise a further three more, so keep an eye out.
