    La Machine - the crew boards Kumo the hard way

    It is performance art. Having the crew climb aboard Kumo after being lifted high above the machine by a heavy lift crane and then dropping down rope and rappelling down is not an easy way to get to work. The giant mechanical spider was held up on the roof of Notre Dame Cathedral Basilica, in Ottawa, Canada, by another heavy lift crane.


    1. The overview - the church, the giant mechanical spider, two large cranes and the crew.

    Not only the mechanics but everything about that contraption is complicated. Nos.1 and 3 really provide context.
