What is Wax?

Wax: Or the Discovery of Television among the Bees

A Video by David Blair

The bizarre fictional story of Jacob Maker, weapons-guidance designer and committed beekeeper. When the bees drill a hole in Jacob's head and insert a television whose supernatural images control his will, Jacob enters an hallucinatory alternative reality.

On May 23, 1993, WAX tooks its place in cyber-history when it became the first full length film ever broadcast over the Internet.

"Dazzling...a cyberpunk classic." - Boston Globe



It used to have a very wonderful website, but i can't find it anymore. Info on obtaining the video can be found at http://www.frif.com/cat97/t-z/wax.html (Which is where i stoled the verbiage above from. Or, from whence i stole the verbiage above. Or something.)

I think Strick has a copy of it.
