He also draws attention to the massacre of insects worldwide, which make up part of the Sixth Mass Extinction due to the promulgation of glyphosate and other pesticides, the loss of habitat and unrelenting climate change.Īdditional works included How to Entangle the Universe in a Spider/Web?, which features the innovative, internationally recognized laser-supported tomographic technique developed by Tomás Saraceno with researchers at the Technische Universität Darmstadt. It belongs to no one yet gives itself freely to all. “Right now”, he states, “we have our priorities backwards: capital flows freely, propelled by the fossil fuel economy, while people, empathy and cooperation are stopped at borders.” Saraceno reminds us that following the patterns and forces of the wind, the sun and weather: the air has no borders. Each App begins with the story of doing it together.

Through a series of digital artworks, including Saraceno’s Arachnomancy and Aerocene apps, he challenges technology to connect us to the world, bringing the exhibition into your phone and home.
Through his work with the community groups Aerocene and Arachnophilia, Saraceno sees a future for all things-free from borders, free from fossil fuels, free from the extractive, colonialist and capitalist ambitions that divide us. The exhibition made visible the many others, living and non-living, with which we share our planet.
As Achille Mbembe wrote, “the long reign of capitalism has constrained entire segments of the world population, entire races, to a difficult, panting breath and life of oppression.” In attunement to the bodies and forces that breathe together, Saraceno draws specific attention to inequalities of the air that are often unforgivingly site-specific. According to the World Health Organization, 4.2 million deaths occur each year as a result of exposure to outdoor air pollution, with low- and middle-income countries experiencing the highest burden. The continuous sonic ensemble Songs for the Air, specially developed for the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt, gives voice to particles floating in the air-among them the harmful substances of PM2.5 and PM10. Our increased attention to the air and what it carries inside itself foregrounds the issue of environmental racism with its numerous casualties and countless battlegrounds. This includes not only people from different nations but also animals from different species and forces, both living and non-living. When it comes to public emergencies, be they due to a virus, pollution, or war, we must act together.
