Methodology / assumptions
Births & deaths: UN World Population Prospects 2024 crude rates — 4.28/s born, 2.03/s died. Counters are modelled from those rates, not per-event records; no registry publishes live global vital statistics.
Bees: FAOSTAT beehive stock (~102 M colonies, 2024) grown at 1.3 %/yr, × 20,000 bees per colony — a seasonal mean. Wild and solitary bees are not counted; there is no live census.

Mission statement
Art is not decoration. It is an expression, a record of movement, refusal and repair.
We are a self-organised collective with no gallery, no landlord and no house style. We hold each other's work up: we publish it, we index it, we sell it on fair terms.
Membership means access — to presses, to freight, to insurance, to space, to collaboration, to learning, to a living eco-system and infrastructure that helps a practice survive a bad decade.
Past events
Actions, hangs and performance nights — assembled, made and gone by morning.

“The mystery of why we do not always come apart is the animating tension of all art.”
— Virginia Woolf
