Theo Jansen

Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist and kinetic sculpture. He builds large works which resemble skeletons of animals and are able to walk using the wind on the beaches of the Netherlands. His animated works are a fusion between art and engineering.



What I really like about Sandbeasts, is how clever and ingenious they are. I'm not that into sculpture and I wouldn't do anything like that in my practice, but I just can't not like it or appreciate it because it is that clever and just plain cool.
