Beeholder is a generative system created for BeeDAO as part of documenta fifteen. Inspired by the yearly shifts of hives, the work ebbs and flows with the seasons.

BeeDAO operated as a prototype organization, demonstrating the potential for interspecies democracy, wealth distribution, and knowledge creation. The aim of the organization is to secure and improve the well-being of bees worldwide. Based on smart contracts and sensor kits that monitor the key life indicators of more than 15 beehives in Kassel, the organization makes decisions in regular assembly meetings.
