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.
