![]() each body is a ‘nested ecology’ linked to others in complex ways. In the artist’s words, "organisms are not atomistic individuals but hybrid assemblages. ![]() Nets with broader diameters draw upon the vibrational rates of more monumental matter, such as the 140 cm diameter net 0.61 GHz (RXCJ2003.5-2323 / Radio Halo)-a halo generated by ultrarelativistic electrons surrounding this distant galaxy cloud. Of the 3.4 kilometers of 1–2.5 milli-meter black cord arranged in complex clusters, a 25 cm diameter net, 58-178 Hz (Argiope keyserlingi Courtship / Emitted Frequency), borrows its name from the peak frequencies of courtship signals produced by an orb weaving spider. ![]() Accessing this Umwelt, the work actuates participants to see, touch, hear and for a moment exist within this web of linked perceptions, drawing awareness to proximal worlds.Įach of the converging nodes within Algo-r(h)i(y)thms refers to the different reverberation frequencies of micro- and macroscopic phenomena. The spider/web is thus considered a material extension of the spider’s own senses, and-some argue-of its mind. Algo-r(h)i(y)thms then presents an urgent invitation to attune to our sym(bio)poetic futures, the radical reciprocity of all things, both living and nonliving, through a vibrational language.Įssentially blind, the web-building spider creates an image of the world through the tremors it sends and receives through the web, which also functions as an organic and specialized instrument for transmitting these seismic signals. In Spanish, “algo” means “something.” “Rhythm” comes from the Greek rhythmos, meaning "movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions." Though rhythm is both biological and inherent, theorized as evolutionarily instinctual, relating in human history to the speeds of the human heartbeat, gait, and emotional affect, our contemporary moment operates at a tempo artificially imposed rather than intuitively felt. ![]() The exhibition will be on view from November 16 and continues through December 21, 2019.Īlgo-r(h)i(y)thms transforms the exhibition space into a web-like landscape of nets. Esther Schipper is pleased to announce Algo-r(h)i(y)thms, Tomás Saraceno's third solo exhibition with the gallery. ![]()
