Theo Jansen's Strandbeest... Artists Without Borders #ArtistsWithoutBorders #awb "Since 1990 Theo Jansen has been occupied with the making of a new nature. Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind. Eventually he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives " http://www.strandbeest.com/ | Artists Without Borders

Dutch artist Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests are kinetic sculptures, that use wind and self-generated kinetic energy to move. Creating them since the 1990s, the sculptures are constructed from lightweight materials like PVC tubing, and their intricate joint systems enable movement and response to wind changes. They’re popularized globally, inspiring DIY kits, and symbolize the intersection of art, engineering, and environmental solutions. 📝 @pa.next 🎥 Theo Jansen, Strandbeest #kineticsculpture #kin
