Spider-1
2004
From the point of relations, spider provides a new “construction” concept – to build a space itself in a kind of relation while not changing the characteristics of the original space.
<<Spider>> reproduces this type of biological behavior inside the official area of a network company in Beijing without any change to the space, by four actors’ behaviors and performance of using four manners of history, society, culture, fable overlapping in four function areas of the company – meeting room, general office, manager’s office and corridor.
<<Spider>> attempts the possibility of new relation between public spaces and modern arts, in overlapping and coexisting different spaces arbitrarily by transferring and replanting behavior. The different types of application produce the new meaning of space, and revise our fixed and clear opinion. <<Spider>>, among relations, makes the sense becoming“grey”.
