The giant spider sculpture you see above was designed for the Liverpool Bienniale by the artist/architect/curator/blogger Ai Weiwei. The actual webbing is constructed out of steel cables, while the spider itself is a crystal studded with white LEDs. LEDs have also been strung all along the cables to resemble dew drops on the web, and the word is it even favors the real thing when the sun is out.
