In a study that explores the archeology of non-human media, Jussi Parikka encourages readers of entomology publications to approach them as "media books." Such a reading will disclose "a whole new world of sensations, perceptions, movements, stratagems, and patterns of organization that work much beyond the confines of the human world." In current times, spiders are not considered part of what historically the broader term "insect" and the discipline of entomology encompassed-the largest order in the class of arachnids, spiders are the subject of arachnology. Yet Parrika's description is highly relevant as it captures the lived experience of Tomás Saraceno's Arachnid Orchestra. Jam Sessions at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore (23 October - 20 December 2015).
