Inspired by a dream after reading Catherine Ann Cullen’s poem Buzzin’ with Our Cousins, Studio858 developed Buzzin, a playful and surreal animation that reimagines the world through the eyes of a bee. Commissioned as part of IPUT’s Living Canvas initiative, this vibrant digital artwork invited viewers to experience the beauty and wonder of nature from a unique perspective. The animation, set to an uplifting soundtrack by AyoMax, transformed public urban spaces in Dublin into moments of reflection and joy.
challenge
The challenge was to capture the essence of a bee’s perspective in a way that felt playful yet deeply engaging. The goal was to create a visual and emotional journey where ordinary objects became extraordinary, evoking curiosity and wonder. Additionally, the project needed to seamlessly integrate into IPUT’s Living Canvas, a public-facing platform requiring high-impact visuals to captivate passersby in a bustling urban environment.
