#theojansen makes wind driven pvc (yellow plastic tube) structures. So called #strandbeesten " beach animals".
His work space is near #TheHague
#Strandbeesten that didn't make it, extinct specimens and silent witnesses to an evolution in progress, lie down at the Strandbeesten Mortuarium in Delft.
I've always wanted to see these beasts up close and if they fascinate you, it's a great opportunity to see them. There's also the Atari computer that Theo Jansen used to compute their movements.
But the dream lives on to one day witness a living one just doing Strandbeest things on the beach.
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.

Голландец Тео Янсен занимается созданием новых форм жизни: так называемых страндбистов. Скелеты, сделанные из пластиковой трубки, способны ходить и получать энергию от ветра. Strandbeesten – это кинетические арт-объекты . Название голландское и означает «пляжное животное». Они разрабатываются Тео Янсеном с 1990 года.
