An affinity for spiders and their webs
Since 2006, Tomás Saraceno has been collaborating with spiders and their webs, a research that has unfolded into a wide variety of formats and modalities. These range from large-scale installations and environments, conceived for people to occupy and traverse, to concerts, to the creation of an arachnophilia community that brings together experts from various areas and traditions of knowledge, and to the presentation of the material and immaterial reverberations of spiders, from the webs (which numerous studies argue that it is an extension of the spider’s sensory and also cognitive systems), to the contributes that spiders have been giving to divination processes in certain communities.

Tomás Saraceno (*1973, Argentina) is a Berlin-based artist whose projects dialogue with forms of life and life-forming, rethinking dominant threads of knowledge in the Capitalocene era and recognizing how diverse modes of being engage a multiplicity of meanings. For more than two decades, Saraceno has activated open-source, collective and interdisciplinary projects aimed towards rethinking the co-creation of the atmosphere, including Museo Aero Solar (2007–), the Aerocene Foundation (2015–), and Arachnophilia, towards a society free from carbon emissions, for eco-social justice.
