Despite their inestimable value to our planet, 21st century bees are finding life hard; they are in decline all over the world. Human impact in the form of pesticide use, loss of bee friendly habitats to development, and mass farming techniques is largely thought to be responsible.
This soundscape installation and exhibition is both an homage to the honey bee and an exploration of the permeable nature of the boundaries between the towering skyscrapers and verdant parks of Hong Kong, between our world and the bees’ world. finding future’s way brings together art and science to create a ‘pathway’ through the transitory space of the Ground Floor Gallery; it invites you to experience the City Hive and to reflect on a future for us all.
