Giant Mechanical Spider Attacks British Building

This year, it seems like high-rise buildings have become the new platform for art stunts. As of Monday, a building in British city Liverpool became the stage for French company La Machine to dangle a giant mechanical spider. Dubbed “La Princess,” the 50 foot long, 37 ton arachnid appears to be climbing Concourse House, a building that is currently scheduled for demolition.
The eyesore artwork is also capable of moving. According to one of the engineers, all the spider needs to come to life is music and lights. Citizens have been busy pointing-and-shooting with hopes of capturing the first movement of princess spidey, but the creature is scheduled to come to life tomorrow morning when it will stretch its legs out to double its size. To get more acquainted with the monstrous creature, watch the video below…

This is interesting. I would love to drap a building with one of my photographs.
