Strandbeests
Strandbeests are kinetic sculptures created by Dutch artist Theo Jansen. These remarkable structures are designed to move using wind power, mimicking the movement of living creatures. Made from lightweight materials like plastic tubing, they can walk across beaches and other surfaces, powered by the wind through a series of intricate mechanisms.
Jansen's goal is to create self-sustaining creatures that can survive in their environment. Each Strandbeest is engineered to adapt to different conditions, showcasing a blend of art, engineering, and biology. They represent a unique intersection of creativity and technology, captivating audiences worldwide.
