Wind Powered “Creatures” Tue, Sep 25, 2018

There are creatures on the beaches of Holland that don’t need to sleep or eat to survive. These creatures are kinetic sculptures made of PVC pipes and powered by the wind. They are built by Theo Jansen, a Dutch artist who has dedicated over 20 years of his life to creating these “living” sculptures which he calls “strandbeest”. In the beginning Theo would have to pull the sculptures to get them moving, eventually he added propellers and sails so that they could move by themselves. Jansen dream is to one day have a herd of these majestic sculpture roam free on the beaches. If you want to see more of his sculptures check out this video
