Do you know Theo Jansen? (not the soccer player!)
This is amazing stuff; ingenious, marvellous, beautifull and spectacular. Dutch artist Theo Jansen creates creatures that roam the beaches in Holland, gracefully moving around, driven by the wind. His works are a wonderfull fusion between art and engineering. I'd love to see his monsters in real life once!

Those creatures are really beautiful, I would love to one day see them roving around in nature and parks all over the world... It would also be fun to build one strandbeest someday.
ReplyDeleteI saw them life!!!! It was at Ars Electronica 2005. They were shown in a big hall and one of them was shown in the centre of the City of Linz. As far as I remember the artist himself was there and showed to the public how it works. Really cool stuff and cool guy, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I've heard, that you can get a kit from the Internet for building one by yourself (smaller and by far not so complex but still....) I've never checked it out, though...
