Abstract

Artist Aganetha Dyck collaborates with bees to produce inventive and unusual art. We demonstrate a swarm system that mimics this collaboration allowing designers to interact with simple agents called beeoids to produce virtual three-dimensional constructions. We show how the system responds to changes in user input and how interactive evolution can be used to change the behaviour of the system.
