HANGING 80-foot in the air these human spiders are living life on the edge. The art installation made from 2500-square metres of mesh allows up to ten people to float on 26-foot diameter air-filled PVC balls as well as play spider by stalking people below. The three-tonnes of netting took three-years to compose into the impressive structure, called “In Orbit” by engineers under the direction of Argentinian artist Tomas Saraceno. Located at over the giddy-heights of three floors of the K21 Standhaus museum in Dusseldorf, Germany the artist studies the techniques used by spiders to create their webs when he designed the spectacular work of interactive artwork.Visitors must be at least 12-years-old when they choose to take to the heights of the exhibition when it opens on June 22nd.
