All day
National Gallery Singapore, along St Andrew's Road
Maratus speciosus, the peacock spider, is part of Tomas Saraceno’s AR project titled Webs of Life. The project proposes new, speculative, and technological pathways for cultivating affective relations between spiders and humans. It harnesses digital tools to cultivate multispecies kinship with the technosphere and biosphere.
Tomás Saraceno lives and works in and beyond planet Earth. His floating sculptures, artworks, and interactive installations challenge ways of inhabiting and sensing the environment. Calling for environmental justices that enable interspecies cohabitation, Saraceno’s artistic collaborations seek relationships with the terrestrial, atmospheric, and cosmic realms -particularly through his community projects Aerocene and Arachnophilia
