Built from recycled material by Pip Rush and Bert Cole, Arcadia started off as a stage at Glastonbury called the Afterburner. Customs and excise scanning units were attached to the stage as “legs”, resulting inย the first incarnation of the Spider before the latter became its own separate installation and made a mark around the world, including Bangkok, Seoul and Taipei.
