...and obligatory re-sharing of some pics of our joint generative design workshop in 2013, incl. Theo's graveyard of older Strandbeests and mechanisms:

Also remembering that already back then he was very worried about the manufacturer discontinuing the specific pipes used as raw materials for these creatures and therefore bought several kilometers of piping as reserve in advance, to future proof his project and not having to potentially recalculate/recalibrate all the designs...

Theo Jansen’s stunning walking sculptures showcased in a new exhibition.

A new exhibition in Delft, The Strandbeesten Mortuary, showcases the life and evolution of Dutch artist Theo Jansen’s iconic wind-powered beach creatures.

Made from materials like PVC pipes and plastic bottles, these kinetic sculptures have "lived" and "died" on the Dutch coastline since 1990.

"Een passant vraagt aan Theo Jansen, bij zee werkend aan een van zijn strandbeesten, of wat hij maakt ook ‘any functionality’ heeft. ‘Nee, het is kunst.’ Weg is de man. Grijnzend zegt de Hollandse Leonardo: ‘Als ze vragen wat ik maak, zeg ik meestal “kunst”. Dan houdt het meteen op. Hebben ze medelijden.’
