Beach Creatures: Theo Jansen and his Strandbeests by The Elephant's Child

Filed under: Architecture, Art, Energy, Environment, Politics, Science/Technology | Tags: Kinetic Sculpture, Strandbeests, Theo Jansen

Theo Jansen makes wind-fueled kinetic sculptures specifically for walking and “surviving”on the beaches of Holland. He calls them Strandbeests and they are extraordinary. His 2007 TED talk explains in more detail how “the animals” move and survive. You can find more videos on Vimeo.
