dream machine

Physicist-turned-artist Theo Jansen has been creating strandbeests since 1990. Iteratively designed and intricately assembled, Jansen’s self-propelled creatures have evolved over the years, becoming increasingly complex and lifelike, with specialized adaptations to help them survive in their seaside environment.

 

Finally have seen these strandbeests myself in real on the beach. Though there was no wind, meaning there was no movement at all. Still magnificent to see them in their own environment.

You can see them at the Zuiderstrand in Scheveningen near "De Fuut"
