Hive AI enhances human creativity and intellectual exploration by reimagining knowledge ecosystems with AI as a supportive tool rather than a controlling force. Responding to the exhibition theme Horizons of the Posthuman City, Hive AI empowers individuals to shape their own learning experiences while AI assists in uncovering hidden connections and organizing information dynamically. Users construct their own "hives"—interconnected knowledge nodes—expanding and reorganizing ideas through AI-assisted exploration. This evolving framework reflects the essence of posthuman cities, where intelligence flows through interconnected technological and ecological networks, enriching rather than replacing human agency.

Leveraging neural networks and machine learning, Hive AI translates cognitive pathways into modular hexagonal nodes. Users input diverse data formats—text, video, images—while AI reveals hidden connections, bridges interdisciplinary gaps, and generates dynamic data visualizations. This process resists rigid, linear organization, instead fostering fluid, evolving structures of thought.

By challenging conventional AI-driven education models, Hive AI dismantles rigid industrial paradigms, redefining the way knowledge is structured and experienced, mirroring how posthuman spaces are shaped by non-human intelligence. It envisions a future where knowledge is not merely consumed but co-created through decentralized, adaptive networks—an intellectual space of infinite possibility.

About the Artists

Clara, Xuefei, Huiyang, Hanyong, and Yongwen are UX designers and researchers with backgrounds in human-computer interaction, interactive media, and architecture from Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan, and NYU. Their work spans AI, extended reality, speculative design, and digital accessibility, blending technology with human-centered principles to create intuitive and immersive experiences. Their work have been recognized by the Red Dot Design Award and Muse Design Awards.

Together, they investigate human-AI interaction, reimagining engagement with artificial environments and the shifting boundaries between human-centric spaces and AI-driven information consumption. Their work envisions new interactions that balance autonomy and exploration, challenging the role of intellectual passivity in algorithm-driven experiences. Through speculative design, they create immersive, thought-provoking experiences that bridge technology and human intuition.
