Centuries of beekeeping restricted the honeybees’ role to a producer of raw material, such as honey or wax, which is then harvested and processed, resulting in all artistic value being added by humans. In this project, we regard honeybees (Apis mellifera) as co-creators and explore the joint creations of our two species. During our first season, we scoped the co-creative space over the course of four months. We present image material of sculptures that exceed bees’ natural building behavior and contribute preliminary insights on artifacts originating from human-bee co-creation. We reflect on how human-introduced wax shapes made the bees deviate from their regular comb forms and discuss future paths of multi-species co-creation, temporality, material as well as ethical aspects. Our preliminary insights raise questions to be developed in discussions with the TEI community and answered in future work during the upcoming bee seasons.

Data physicalizations are physical artifacts that represent data across sensory modalities. They are frequently used in informal learning environments, such as museums, which are inherently social spaces. Research on the design choices for data physicalizations and their effects in social contexts is sparse. Previous work examining the size of data physicalizations shows a tendency to favor larger designs to increase artefact-mediated social interactions among viewers (social engagement), but the empirical evidence remains inconclusive. To address this, we empirically investigated the effect of data physicalization size on social engagement and user experience. In this laboratory study, the social engagement between two viewers freely interacting with a data physicalization is analyzed across two sizes. The results do not indicate a clear advantage of a larger design for increasing social engagement. Thus, investing additional effort and material resources in making a physicalization larger would compromise sustainability for no measurable change in social engagement.
