Who is the spider @d-pend? Is this spider civilization itself with layer upon layer of symbiosis?

These lines remind us of something more than just the spider we see:

the parasitoids
that build miniature cities on their backs

You must have had fun writing this. Just as much fun as I had looking at the pictures. To me they look like Korean housing development projects.

There is an urban complexity in this poem and in the pictures. For example:

Spider Sector—
only a cell on the seam of the Grand Magic Cube Valley,
octa-hexadic delegation for the mega-scale realm
that plots to implode ordinary gravitic strictures
to replace them with more spontaneous algorithms,
rendering the universe an etheric technoartist's fantasy.

It is really enjoyable to follow the cybernetic spider through the space time grid.

I don't know if you ever heard this song but for some odd reason I think you will like it. The song was never a smash but was one of my favorite and way ahead of its time. Enjoy ^^
