Summary

The text explores the interconnected themes of air, ecosystems, and the relationship between humans and invertebrates through the lens of art and science, particularly focusing on the works of Tomás Saraceno. It discusses various concepts such as Aerocene, a post-fossil fuel era, and the significance of spider webs as metaphors for connection and communication among life forms. The Arachnomancy Cards and the corresponding app serve as tools for understanding these relationships, highlighting topics like invertebrate rights and climate change. The overarching message emphasizes the radical interconnectedness of all beings, urging a deeper awareness of our shared environment and the need for collective action to address ecological challenges.

Signals

name description change 10-year driving-force relevancy
Aerocene Movement The growing advocacy for an Aerocene era free from fossil fuels. Transition from fossil fuel dependency to sustainable air-based technologies. In 10 years, societies may rely on sustainable air technologies for energy and transportation. Environmental concerns and the need for sustainable living drive this movement. 5
Invertebrate Rights Emerging focus on the rights of invertebrates and their ecological importance. Shift from neglecting invertebrates to recognizing their rights and roles in ecosystems. In 10 years, legal frameworks may protect invertebrates and promote biodiversity. Increased awareness of biodiversity loss and its impact on ecosystems. 4
Arachnomancy Using spider webs as a medium for oracle readings and ecological awareness. From traditional divination to ecological and interconnectedness insights. In 10 years, more people may engage in eco-spiritual practices using natural elements. Desire for deeper connections with nature and alternative spiritual practices. 3
Hybrid Webs Exploration of hybrid ecosystems involving both humans and nature. Transition from isolated human activities to integrated ecosystems with nature. In 10 years, urban spaces may be designed to enhance human-nature interactions. Urbanization and the need for sustainable living spaces influence this change. 4
Cosmic Connectivity Understanding and communicating through cosmic and vibrational energies. Shift from physical communication to vibrational and cosmic understanding. In 10 years, new forms of communication may emerge based on vibrational awareness. Advancements in technology and consciousness exploration promote this idea. 3
