"Dutch engineer/artist Theo Jansen is known for his Strandbeests, giant kinetic sculptures that move along the beach on their own, powered only by the wind. Over time, the Strandbeests have evolved to be bigger, lighter, and faster. They seem to be living beings, although they are made of PVC pipe, string, and zip ties." From the blog:

DeleteAmazing! I loved the video with all the different kinds of sculptures! Thanks for posting this, John.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it.
DeleteMarvelous. They still have an unsteafiness about them though. I'll wait until I know they won't fall over.
ReplyDeleteI guess the wrong burst of wind would knock them over.
DeleteI have seen videos of these fantastic sculptures before. They are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how he thought of it.
DeleteI've never seen anything like this. That is incredible!
