Anne Marie Maes (1955, Leuven)[citation needed] is a visual artist working in Brussels and Barcelona. For the last three decades she has been recognised as a leading pioneer in art-science projects in Belgium. Her projects combine art and ecology with a strong interest for DIY technology[1]. Long-term projects are Connected OpenGreens (on the Politics of Green Spaces)[2], Bee Agency (returning autonomy to honey bee colonies)[3], and Sensorial Skins (experiments with bacteria and organic matter)[4].  

Work and career[edit]

Maes holds an MA in fine arts from the Luca School of Art Brussels and an MA in cultural studies from the Free University of Brussels (VUB). Over the past three decades, she has been recognised in Belgium as a leading pioneer in art-science projects. Her art practice focuses on co-evolutions within urban ecosystems. She strives to uncover hidden structures and processes in nature by constructing her own technological means, seeking new forms of communication with the natural world. Her work is an investigation of living systems, natural networks and dynamic ecosystems. She applies concepts from biotechnology and materials science to combine living and inanimate matter and she translates this into installations and sculptures that feature their own behaviour, metabolism and agency[5][6].

For her project Intelligent Guerrilla Beehive[7], she received an honourable mention in the Hybrid Art category at Ars Electronica[8].[9][10].

Maes has a history of artist residencies at prominent research centers and art institutions as the Hybrid Forms Lab[11] (VU Amsterdam), the Open Biolab[12] (Erasmus Brussels), the BioHackLab[13] (Barcelona) and Fab Textiles[14] (IAAC Barcelona). Maes is also  the founder of the artist-run organisations and collectives LookingGlass, OKNO[15] and BUBL [16](Brussels Urban Bee Lab).

Maes’ work is frequently shown in various European countries (Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Finland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Norway, etc.) as well as in the US (New York) Syria, India and Brazil.
