Tomás Saraceno: Interwoven│602│Arachnophilia

Script of this episode// Arachnophilia refers to an affinity or fascination with spiders, in contrast to the more familiar arachnophobia. Across cultures, spiders have long been seen as beings of wisdom and mystery, and practices of "spider divination" continue today, asking spiders about past, present, and future. For over two decades, Tomás Saraceno and Arachnophilia, the interdisciplinary project-community he founded, has collaborated with spiders, observing how a spider’s woven web functions as an extension of its body to sense the world through vibration. This section features two works. Webs Of At-ten(s)ion presents intricate, three-dimensional constellations woven by different spider species—a choreography of movement, silk, and time. Though spiders in nature often avoid one another, here they weave sequentially within the same structure, forming a dialogue across time and suggesting possibilities of coexistence. How to Entangle the Universe in a Spider/web? transforms these webs into cosmic cartographies, drawing parallels between spider architectures and the filamentary networks of dark matter, inviting reflection on the invisible connections linking micro and macro worlds, earth and cosmos. ----------------------------------------------------- Tomás Saraceno: Interwoven 2026.03.21–2026.09.06 NTCAM Gallery 6A、6B
