“Singing Cobweb” is an interactive artwork made of wool thread, hand-woven into a shape of a giant spider web that plays classical music when touched by the visitors. The work is designed to produce sounds of different instruments depending on where the contact is made: the more people interact with the web, the more instruments are heard, coalescing into a fuller symphony. In an attempt to create a complete orchestra, the participants will find themselves captivated.
