Waxing Nostalgic (Patreon)

Mousing around today, I found this 1993 review from the Austin Chronicle, written by Marjorie Baumgarten. She's discussing the (to my knowledge) one and only film by American experimentalist David Blair, entitled Wax, or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees. I haven't seen Wax for a long time, most likely 1991 or 1992. I remember having mixed feelings about it. 

But that's neither here nor there. Baumgarten's review makes a really fascinating claim. She claims that Wax was the first feature film ever to be "transmitted" on the Internet. I don't know whether context can be said to add validity to a claim. But Baumgarten does refer to the Internet as "the global computer network," on the assumption that most of her Austin readers would not readily know what the Internet is.

Do we have independent verification for this? Or is it just a known fact that somehow escaped me? Was Wax actually the very first streaming feature?
