Saraceno’s work, more generally, invites us to rethink the future of our planet from an interspecies perspective. The web is thus considered a material extension of the spider’s own senses, and-some argue-of its mind. as part of his community projects, Aerocene and Arachnophilia. The exhibition explored the behaviours of the web-building spider, which is essentially blind and creates an image of the world through the tremors it sends and receives through the web. Toms Saraceno: Particular Matter(s) is billed as a large-scale exhibition and sensory. The space at Esther Schipper gallery was transformed into a web-like landscape of nets containing 3.4 kilometres of black cord. We spoke to the artist during his recent exhibition ‘Algo-r(h)i(y)thms’ at Esther Schipper gallery last November, about the complexities of these creatures and how they inform his acoustic installations.
These (most often) blind and deaf arthropods’ limited senses force the senses they do have to be amplified. The ‘hearing’ in this new piece, Saraceno says, is less of an aural experience, and rather one inspired by the ways spiders navigate the world. This work is an exploration of the webs’ and spiders’ behaviour and it materializes in the spider/web archive. Courtesy Tomás Saraceno with thanks to Arachnophilia. Through the Arachnomancy App you are invited to receive an oracle reading based on the digital version of the Arachnomancy Cards. Its community of spiders and caretakers, or diviners, create living, silken architecture that. The Arachnomancy App created by Studio Tomás Saraceno is an invitation to celebrate the radical interconnectedness of all things, both living and non-living. Since 2006, Saraceno has been engaged in arachnid research from the perspective of the web. The Arachnophilia project celebrates spiders and the possibilities of interspecies collaborations. If you're in London, we'll be delighted to see you at the Magnum gallery, on Gee Street, EC1V 3RS. His Berlin studio contains a room devoted to his spiders, who form the basis of Saraceno’s ‘Arachnophilia’ project. Throughout his work, Saraceno aims for climate justice informed by human and nonhuman lifeform perspectives, which have been disregarded (such as the air, spiders and their webs, and communities.
His working process is interdisciplinary, Saraceno uses knowledge from different fields like engineering, physics, chemistry, aeronautics and material science in his creative process.
