The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds

Quoted from Theo Jansen's website:
"Since 1990 I have been occupied creating new forms of life.

Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this new nature. I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don’t have to eat.

Over time, these skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storms and water and eventually I want to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives."





Kinetic sculptures are one of the coolest art creations that i have seen. imagine if the red sculpture in front of the fine arts building was a kinetic sculpture..

UPDATE: I felt that it was inappropriate to post 2 commercials in a row so heres an old spice commercial i saw that i really liked that i put it on as an update- Smears
