Listening can be a radical act. In (Be)etogether, artist duo María Castellanos and Alberto Valverde push that act to its limits—transforming bees not into symbols, but into interlocutors.
Through sensors, AI, and interactive visualizations, this bold project goes beyond representation. It invites us to tune in to the rhythms of hive life and rethink the connections between species, technologies, and territories. The colonies speak—of pollination, survival, care—and this artwork translates their language without taming it.
Far from the lab and rooted in the Asturian mountains, in collaboration with local beekeepers and scientists, (Be)etogether redefines technology as a tool for ecosystemic listening. What if art wasn’t just something to look at—but a way to learn how to live with others?

Perhaps it’s time to stop looking at the world… and start listening.
