[Wax, or the Discovery of Television among the Bees](http://www.thing.net/~lilyvac/wax.html) is a very strange movie set (in part) in Southern New Mexico. It is the bizarre fictional story of Jacob Maker, aka Hive-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. Its first public screening, I believe, was in the weekly film series shown at the college I attended, [New Mexico Tech](http://www.nmt.edu). I see now that [you can view the entire film on the web](http://jefferson.village.virginia.edu/wax/), and every frame is a clickable link to somewhere. As the site says: _"click inside the video to enter a shot."_ It claims to be the first full-length film to be broadcast on the internet, on-line since 1993. I've never seen anything like it, both the movie and the website. |
