During an artistic-research soundwalk led by Roland Mühlethaler in the Tivoli Park, participants will be guided to find and observe local spiders and their webs. Their encounters will be overlaid with scientific information and narratives provided by the soundwalk leader, who will also instruct them in how to use simple tools (for instance, a tuning fork) to draw spiders from their webs.The spiderwebs can then be geotagged using the Arachnomancy App, developed by the artist Tomás Saraceno and his studio team in Berlin, to open up an interspecies dialogue with spiders.The findings will contribute to the Arachnomancy’s collaborative map against extinction of global spiderweb dispersal and diversity.
We’re inviting visitors to download and install the Arachnomancy App (iOS and Android) so that you could map the spiders during the tour:
