Arachnomancy vs BodyWays

The Arachnomancy App created by Studio Tomás Saraceno is an invitation to celebrate the radical interconnectedness of all things, both living and non-living. Through the Arachnomancy App you are invited to receive an oracle reading based on the digital version of the Arachnomancy Cards. These cards, exploring topics from Invertebrate Rights to Climate Eviction, were created by artist Tomás Saraceno for Spider/Web Pavilion 7 as part of May You Live In Interesting Times curated by Ralph Rugoff at the 58th International Biennale Arte in Venice. Understanding spider/webs as nonhuman pavilions that transcend national representation, the App extends the Arachnocene from the Venice Biennale to your own garden. Summon the oracle by sharing photos of spider/webs you encounter, and unlock an Archnomancy Reading communicated beyond human language. Based on spider vibrational communication, your reading is composed of seismic signals produced and received on actual spider/webs from the Arachnophilia Archives. Revisit your reading and share images with friends by accessing your Oracle Archive.

Have you ever tried talking with body movements? Instead of using words, use your body movements to ask questions, give your opinion, and wait for the other person to respond. Try to understand what the other is saying with her/his body, without using words. Explore this new universe and discover your body. Discover your expression. Discover how you can say amazing things using your body in a new way like you've never done before. Something totally new for you to try: BodyWay Nota-Anna, an App of motion capture with visualization and sound options for social networks. How it was born? A dancer, Analivia Cordeiro, dreamed that one day everyone would communicate and talk through movements, when technology instruments were still rudimentary, in 1983. Time passed, a lot of research was done by her and Nilton Lobo, responsible for the tech solutions. Together, they created Nota-Anna, trying to turn this dream into reality. Finally, 39 years later, their dream comes true: BodyWay Nota-Anna, a way for people to talk to each other using the movements of their bodies, without words. BodyWay Nota-Anna creates a graphic visualization of your body movement video. You can choose an image background, add a soundtrack. If you want, put a comment and send it to a friend, a relative, a partner, to anyone who you want. And wait for this person to answer. Thus, in a back-and-forth, you create a movement dialogue. BodyWay Nota-Anna is easy to use, fun, applicable to anyone anywhere in the world. A new way to communicate, create and have fun.
