The Spidertag Mural is being brought to fruition through the generosity of Hatch Foundation.

Spidertag is a pioneering urban artist and muralist internationally recognized for his Interactive Neon Murals INM #, an avant-garde project that burst onto the world scene to radically change the concept of muralism by taking this discipline to a new path where the viewer becomes part of the work that can be changed and where a new element, neon 2.0 and an experimental language, give shape to this original concept of urban art and large-scale muralism.

Spidertag has played—with and without permission—since 2008, reinterpreting geometry, abstraction, minimalism—now also symbolism—in the streets and rural spaces globally from a perspective of experimentation, risk, avant-garde, and alternative futurism.

In a bid to continue exploring the path of experimentation and the avant-garde in urban art and muralism, he initiated the Interactive Neon Mural # (INM #), a format of murals where viewers can, by downloading an app, modify a part of the murals. He also created a new aesthetic concept by experimenting with ancestral, prehistoric forms in search of a new language to contrast them with the neons and thus create a kind of Futuristic Primitive.

At the end of 2015, after several years of arduous research, he discovered the material that has led him to take a more personal, innovative, and unique step: flexible neons. Here he begins an adventure that continues and that has led him to travel the world and participate in the main urban art festivals such as Pow Wow, Hawaii and Life is Beautiful, Las Vegas in the United States; Mural Festival in Canada, Upnorth in Norway, Peinture Fraiche in France, Estau in Portugal, Upeart in Finland, Artstreet HBG, Take Tomorrow Back in Sweden, RSH in Saudi Arabia and Memorie Urbane in Italia.

His influences range from Russian Constructivism and video games to Kinetic art through music and literature, graffiti, cinema, science fiction, and current muralism or architecture, always from an intellectual, hypermodern, and alternative.

When night falls, he puts on a superhero costume to ignite and capture his particular and modern vision of street art…Neonmetry.
