Artist: Theo Jansen

So apparently I needed a longer break than I thought. Posting everyday was really turning out to be quite the task. But I'm back now and hopefully at a more relaxed pace.

First up is Kinetic artist Theo Jansen.

Theo builds monsters. Big, plastic monsters that walk on beaches powered only by the wind. Clearly the thinking here is blurring the lines between art and engineering with a big messy brush - just the kind of forward thinking that is already changing the landscape of our everyday. This will be especially evident if Theo sees his vision through: "putting herds of these animals out on the beaches to live their own lives."
