Spider n2

2008
35x40x40cm
A spider-shaped automaton made of PVC plastic, MDF, motor, polyacetal gears, metal, infrared presence sensors and electronic control circuit

A second spider-shaped automaton that moves when it detects people passing in front of it. It has a sensor at the base that detects a black stripe on the floor. When it detects this limit, the spider stops moving and then reverses the direction of movement. The mechanism is based on the movement of the animals of the artist Theo Jansen.

It was part of the solo exhibition Spiders held at the Fortes Vilaça warehouse in 2008.
