Theo Jansen makes beautiful kinetic creatures from PVC pipes. It’s hypnotic. Best way to start the weekend! Enjoy your Saturday, you wild beautiful beasts you.

THIS IS AMAZING!!!! Thanks for sharing!!
His creations are some of the best exmlpaes of art and engineering morphed into one end result that I’ve ever seen. He points out that he sees no clear distinction between engineering and art, but the art would not have been possible in this case without the engineering the way I see it. I can’t help but think of Da Vinci’s concepts for flight, but Theo Jensen has actually built working prototypes, although not designed to fly. They are very beautiful in motion marching across the sand as you watch the synchronization of the members that serve as legs and the wings that harness the wind. I hope others will find this post.
That is just soooo cool!
