The Mondo Spider
She’s a 1000kg mechanical spider (we’re told she’s the fastest walking machine on Earth, too). This ridable mechanical walking machine was designed by a team of artists and engineers as an industrial metal beast destined to rock Burningman and the world of kinetic sculpture.
Inspired by Vancouver Junkyard Wars, this giant hydraulic monster was hewn from steel with passion and precision. The Mondo Spider is a collaborative contemporary art project that challenges the dominant perception of locomotion, energy and power through the process of creating and exhibiting a 1,500lb 8-legged electro-mechanical walking vehicle.
