Coolest Sculptures EVER, Kinetic Powered By the Wind
The creativity of people at times simply amazes me and Theo Jansen is one such person. He combines art and engineering to create light weight but giant wind powered creatures described as “Kinetic Sculptures, where nature meets technology”. The picture above does not do them justice, follow the jump to see the sculptures in motion, simply amazing.
This video shows a home made paper project inspired by Theo Jansen
You can find more Theo Jansen videos over on You Tube and more information about him and his work on strandbeest.com.
