Pierre Huyghe’s artwork “Exomind (Deep Water)” features a female figure topped with a beehive hosting a community of honeybees, creating a dynamic and ever-changing piece. The artwork embraces an open-ended state influenced by natural elements, where the artist and nature collaborate as coauthors. The beehive represents a self-organizing intelligence found in nature, known as “swarm intelligence,” a concept shaping emergent and collective intelligence in social sciences and inspiring terms like “hive mind.” Huyghe’s creation operates akin to a living algorithm, evolving through the activities of its worker bee colony, which, like a code, scans the environment and extracts nectar. This work embodies a vision of intelligence that transcends the boundaries between human, nature, and machine, highlighting the diverse subjectivities that collectively shape the world.

In 1966, during their tour in Japan, The Beatles spent time in their hotel room creating a painting known as “Images of a Woman.” This artwork, believed to be the only joint creation by all four members, was recently sold at Christie’s auction house for $1,744,000, nearly three times its estimated value. Each Beatle contributed a section to the painting, showcasing their individual styles and techniques. Despite never being officially titled by the band, the painting gained its moniker due to interpretations of its imagery. Its sale represents a rare tangible relic outside of The Beatles’ musical catalog, encapsulating a unique moment in the band’s history and offering insight into their creative process and camaraderie.
