All works: Spider web, acrylic cube, wooden stand, led illumination
The illuminated, translucent cubes host unusual webs built by different species of spiders. The artistic experiment weaves architecture, biology, network analyses and social behavior into questions of sharing, communicating and building. Tomás Saraceno’s research and work with spider webs originates from his interest in astrophysics - each of these translucent boxes represents an entire universe to him.
