With his spatial installations at the intersection between art, architecture and the natural sciences, the Argentinian Tomás Saraceno asks questions about future forms of 'more - than - human' dwelling. His artistic research can be seen as an invitation to reconsider ecological and social relationships. Part of this exhibition is dedicated to Saraceno’s latest works 'Aerocene' the era of air. Various floating sculptures are on display that do not rely on fossil fuels, inert gases or solar cells, and, in various configurations, could fly around the world solely on the basis of thermal lift. Another part is dedicated to spiders and web structures. Saraceno, together with a diverse community of scientists, has accumulated over a decade’s worth of research into arachnids. At Haus Konstruktiv he presents his installations 'Arachno Concert' in which a spider is situated in a cubic frame. The spider’s own activity causes its web to vibrate and these vibrations are simultaneously turned into sound via a microphone.
