Last weekend I spent a (glorious) day at Chatsworth in Derbyshire. In partnership with Sotherby’s, they are currently showing an excellent exhibition of contemporary sculpture within the grounds.

I found this wonderfully created interactive tarantula on my travels around the web, a true showcase of what is capable with a creative mind and a flair for technology.
