The Wind Beasts

For the past fifteen years, Theo Jansen has been creating (growing?) "beach animals" made from commonly available tools like plastic tubing, cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, hose, tape, and all sorts of other stuff. Wired News did a pretty good article on Jansen earlier this year.

Wow... just wow. I love his mix of impressive engineering with compelling and beautiful art. He matches them so fluidly, it almost seems lifelike at times. I would certainly love to meet him, and perhaps catch some of his creations up close in person. :)
