Theo Jansen




The Dutch kinetic sculptor Theo Jansen builds huge creatures out of conduit and lemonade bottles, and other light materials, creatures that are "learning" to move and survive on their own, on the beach. There are some videos on his website, showing the wonderful ways these creatures move. And there are plenty of YouTube links for his work. It's kind of thrilling how brilliant some people are...
Sorry about running a BMW commercial; it was a better piece than other YouTube selections...
