Based on John Cage’s silent music, I created a spider band. I set a model of the human brains on a robot, which has three groups of legs, consisting of two spider feet which cause it to move awkwardly. I use these movements to compose music. The very bodies of organisms are instruments. The spider perceives every vibration on its web through a small crack in the foot. ‘The fly is already mapped, signalled, its place accommodated in the spider’s bodily behaviour before any particular spider has encountered any particular fly.’ -‘Chaos, Territory, Art’ by Elizabeth Grosz
