about

Arachnodrone is a multi-dimensional multimedia performance environment created by Ian Hattwick, Christine Southworth, Isabelle Su, and Evan Ziporyn. We play in the canvas of a Cyrtophora citricola tropical tent-web spider, gifted to MIT Professor Markus Buehler’s Laboratory for Atomistic & Molecular Mechanics by artist Tomás Saraceno. She is an orb-weaver in the family Araneidae. Using sonification of a 3D model of this single spider’s web, in the harmonic language of Just Intonation, we turn the web into an interactive virtual instrument based on the proportional length of each individual piece of silk and their proximity to one another. Her web becomes a 1700-string resonating harp that we inhabit and activate sonically. Moving through the web, we create a 'sonic biome' in which complex harmonies come in and out of earshot based on proximity and resonance. The spider's geometries are the foundation for our vibrations, providing us a soundscape through which we can wander and with which we can interact.
