Wax or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees

Wax or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees is the first independent feature film by American filmmaker and artist David Blair.

As an anti-war statement, Wax provided an early critique of the Gulf War and current-day drone warfare.

[3] Wax or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees and Waxweb have been supported by substantial grants, co-production, and international sales.

Wax was a co-production with ZDF, German Television, and opened theatrically to rave reviews at the Public Theater in New York.

[7] As the first film streamed across the Internet in 1993 (at 2 frames per second), the New York Times declaring Wax or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees an “historic event.”[2] That same year, the hypermedia version of the film, Waxweb, was one of the first sites on the World Wide Web,[6] and thus has been repeatedly cited as a milestone of Internet Art.
