Scientists Translated Spiderwebs Into Music, And It’s Absoutely Stunning : ScienceAlert:
A few years ago, scientists translated the three-dimensional structure of a spider’s web into music, working with artist Tomás Saraceno to create an interactive musical instrument, titled Spider’s Canvas.
In 2021, the team refined and built on that previous work, adding an interactive virtual reality component to allow people to enter and interact with the web.
[…]”The spider lives in an environment of vibrating strings,” said engineer Markus Buehler of MIT. “They don’t see very well, so they sense their world through vibrations, which have different frequencies.”
There’s a video of the output from the model at the link. It’s not something you can easily dance to, but I’ve seen people choreograph movement to less.
It’s a cool reminder that language and communication with other beings will likely have different modalities than what humans use to communicate with other humans.
