An enticing feature of active materials is the possibility of controlling macroscale rheological properties through the activity of the microscopic constituents. Using a unique combination of microscopy and rheology we study three dimensional microtubule-based active materials whose autonomous flows are powered by a continually rearranging connected network. We quantify the relationship between the microscopic dynamics and the bulk mechanical properties of these nonequilibrium networks. Experiments reveal a surprising nonmonotonic viscosity that strongly depends on the relative magnitude of the rate of internally generated activity and the externally applied shear. A simple two-state mechanical model that accounts for both the solidlike and yielded fluidlike elements of the network accurately describes the theological measurements.
