I'd argue that Giger's aesthetic wouldn't exist without the concept of the hive. Though he's definitely one of the folks that allowed the term to have releavance in the technological sphere.

not to be annoying, but arent these contraptions a little leggy, not quite dense or compact enough, to be hives? maybe i don't get what "hive" means in this context.

Discussion is never annoying.

I wasn't making a physical comparison to the hive form. Rather, I viewed these surveillant structures as the product of hives, or perhaps fixtures along the perimeter of hives. The word seemed appropriate to describe the shell of a collective intelligence made possible through technology.
