It’s something straight out of the art of Shirow Masamune – a 50 foot long, 40 ton robotic spider is menacing the peaceful residents of Liverpool, England. <br /><br />For the past week, the spider has been hanging dormant from local landmarks; but this Friday through Sunday, the beast will roam the streets of England’s sixth largest city, terrorizing helpless Liverpudlians. <br /><br />The spider, inexplicably dubbed “La Princess,” has 50 points of articulations, and is operated by 12 humans strapped inside. <br /><br />The French arts collective La Machine built the robo-arachnid. The group previously crashed a rocket in London's Waterloo Place, and built a 40-foot-high mechanical elephant.
