BEAM是由英国艺术家沃尔夫冈-巴特斯(Wolfgang Buttress)创作和设计的沉浸式虚拟现实装置。项目直径约30米，由7000多根本地的木桩建成，其意图想表达蜜蜂在采蜜时候的艰辛，进而引申到人在生活面临的困境，此项目其实也能当作一个艺术作品，它表达了蜜蜂和人类之间的内在和本质的关系；它汇集了科学、光、电影、声音和投影映射等专业技术，创造了一种沉浸式的多感官体验装置。

BEAM is an immersive pavilion created and designed by UK artist, Wolfgang Buttress. BEAM is a 30m diameter woodland do me pavilion made from over 7000 locally sourced and unprocessed Sitka Spruceposts. BEAM highlights and expresses the plight of the honey bee and the essential role they play in pollinating 30% of the food we eat. The challenges facing the bee are universal. BEAM is an art work that expresses the intrinsic and essential relationship between bee and human; it has brought together specialist collaborators in science, light, film, sound and projection mapping to create an immersive and multi-sensory experience.

游客们在树林和亭子间穿过蜿蜒的小路，通向一片11米宽的六角形空地，小路两旁是高耸的树冠，上面种着野花，内部空间被3.5米高的木质透镜屏幕包围，创造出一种完全沉浸式的气氛。该装置使用振动传感器来模拟黑蜂群的活动，这些实时信号被传送到项目中，项目将这些信号转换成每天24小时不断变化的灯光和声音效果。节假日期间，游客们被引导用钻头在树干上挖洞，吸引蜜蜂和其他昆虫来建造他们的新巢。

Visitors enter the wood and pavilion through numerous path ways lined by rising tree trunks inter-planted with wildflowers leading to an 11m wide hexagonal clearing. The internal space is surrounded by 3.5m high wooden screens to create a fully immersive experience. The installation use vibration sensors to make sure the activity of the Cornish Black Bee colony living at Michael Eavis’ Worthy Farm at Glastonbury. These live signals are sent through to the sculpture and algorithms are used to convert the vibrational signal sin to ever changing lighting and sound effects 24 hours a day. The Pavilion has a legacy post-Glastonbury as a giant bee hotel. Visitors during the festival were encouraged to use hand drills to create holes in the trunks to entice solitary bee sand other insects to make BEAM their new home.

空间配备了一个24小时不间断运转的环绕音响系统，模拟蜜蜂的声音，Wolfgang, Tony Foster 和 KevBales 共同设计了这个声景系统（为声景系统做出贡献的还有: Spiritualized, Amiina, Daniel Avery, Camille Christel, Kelly Lee Owens, ColdcutandLiela Moss）。

The internal space is fitted with a full surround sound system that filled the space 24hrs a day with a fluid and responsive sounds cape based on live bee sounds with harmonious musical stem scrafted and created by Wolfgang, Tony Foster and Kev Bales who form the musical collective BE. Contributions to the sounds cape have been made by Spiritualized, Amiina (string section for Sigur Ros), Daniel Avery, Camille Christel, Kelly Lee Owens, Coldcut and Liela Moss (The Duke Spirit).

内部空间集成了LED屏幕，可以在空地上实时显示蜂房的活动情况，夜晚的空间被12个最先进的激光投影机以360°的角度全景投影填满，沃尔夫冈的科学合作伙伴Dr Martin Bencsik用高清晰度胶片、核磁共振成像和热成像方面的镜头使空地的墙壁活跃起来。

The internal space has integrated LED screens which circum navigate the clearing expressing the activity of the beehives in real time. The space at night was filled with 360-degree projections from 12 state of the art laser projectors animating the walls of the clearing with footage from the honey bee hives and co-projects of Wolfgang’s scientific collaborator Dr Martin Bencsik in both high definiti on film, MRI and thermal imagery.
