Some of the finest art ever produced.

What I find most captivating about the strandbeests are how lifelike they are. They truly seem alive, and it’s curious, because they have no artificial intelligence, no life-like textures or appearances, they are simply a combination of sailcloth and tubing. They probably could have been made (at much greater cost) hundreds of years ago, with oiled leather pouches for air sacks and reeds for tubing, and yet they are so lifelike out of such simple materials. It makes me wonder: just what about them is intrinsic to our human perception of life?

Ik this comment is 6 months old but they do not want to take off, the reason why they are in the air is not to fly to other places but as a method to avoid being buried by sandstorms. One day, when they detect that a sandstorm is coming, they will automatically place down their own anchor and spread their wings to lift into the air, thus dodging death. Theo Jansen is one smart man.

Which means, for every minute of enchantment and magic, there must be countless hours of production and logistic to make it happen.

I'm in Australia where there are many wide flat white beaches. I grew up on one that was 5ks long and 1k wide on a low tide.

That's amazing. I've heard of the Strandbeeste years ago, I didn't realise they'd become so advanced though! I love the ones that fly! The one that has to be tethered down, could you give it some long strings, and let it escape into the sky? Some crazy bird or crab creature dancing across the sky would be amazing to see. How high might it be able to go? Theo, have you thought about making one of these strong enough to ride? So you could sit on it's back, metres above the beach, and it's enormous wind-catchers would have it prancing and streaking across the sand, with you on the back pulling levers to steer it. Then when you're bored of that you pull the "transform" lever and it turns into a bird and you fly away. I'm disappointed to hear they end up in the "boneyard", surely there must be museums and art galleries around the world interested in these? They're evidence that, if you really want to, you can do anything with science and engineering. Their inspirational value alone is immense, but seeing some of the mechanisms explained in a museum would be good too.

Rather than wasting your time. Couldn't you perhaps direct you energies to more worthwhile causes? Such as stopping your government committing genocide.

I've been watching this guy's progress for years, so awesome!

Это что-то необыкновенное!! Вижу впервые, просто завораживает, хочется смотреть ещё и ещё!!!непонятн, как это устроено, но кажется, что это живые существа, какие-то инопланетные насекомые и животные, - тот, кто это придумал, настоящий гений-👏👏👏👍👍👍🤨

I’m so glad I was able to see at least one of your exhibitions in Chicago years ago at the cultural center as an art student, really really impactful work, thanks so much for gifting our generation something so original

That is the most uplifting and touching thing I have seen in a long time. They are so undeniably alive!

One of the most amazing pieces of art ever !

The level of engineering to accomplish such a feat is incredible, great job!!

It's a single basic concept repeated in each structure. Doesn't require brilliance. Just obsession.

These are pretty simple, a bunch of times.

This has got to take a tremendous amount of research. The thing I get from it that the power of wind has so much potential.... I'm just mind blown as how you even start such amazing projects.

I could watch this all day and the music just makes me want to cry. I love it!

Whoever made these Thank you

Your art is the closest thing to the feeling I get when I read my favorite steampunk/1800s sci-fi/exploration books.

Blown away. At first I was peering at the screen , trying to see the people hidden inside doing the pedalling, but then I realised I was seeing genius of engineering and art combined.

Can you imagine sitting on a beach in a deck chair and one of those masterpieces strolls past you, better than any film show, true genious and skill, engineering skill truly wonderful. ❤❤❤

Sehr schön. Und auch die Musik passt sehr gut dazu.🙂👍❤

Those are truly BEAUTIFUL!!! Simple wind walkers that are art in motion!!!! Something peaceful and relaxing watching them traverse the beach!

Sorry, not downplaying the incredible engineering by using the word “simple”.. Just a word to describe the beautiful fluid motion.

these are some cool strand-type-beasts. I haven't seen the flying one or the caterpillar ones before!

Yes!! The flying one was brilliant, you were just willing it to take off across the sea, maybe turn and nod to Theo and then just disappear over the horizon.

"Strand-type beasts". Oh Kojima....

Watching the birds react to the strandbeest, that was very special.

It is so senseless and this is the whole beauty, this artist created something incredible. I love the relation of nature and the objects, their dynamic…wonderful, thank you for sharing this.

I can't explain why, but seeing these undeniably awesome mechanisms walk gives me a genuine fight or flight instinct

Imagine napping on the beach and waking up to one of these coming toward you. I think the first thing I'd do is look at my cooler to see how many beers I drank... 😂. Really is incredible, would love to see irl.

I came across your projects back in year 7 art. It's amazing how you discovered the leg system. You've made great progress and it stills instills the same awe as it did back then for me. Keep it up man. You're doing well

This is sooo soothing to watch, so graceful!!

theo you are THE GENIUS I can't stop watching!!! your creations are beyond all dreams! - KEEP UP GREAT WORK!!!

I love you reply you said exactly what I would have said. I'd love to see one with a passenger or picking up litter or chasing children a little paper mache and they would make Wild fantasy animals.

This took an enormous amount of time, energy, and lots of love. Just Beautiful!

Technology today has evolved from practicality/efficiency and affordability in militarily standards. This man shows how it’s possible to make that which prioritizes art over the three keys mentioned.

So wonderful 😍 i needed this. Such things and people make the world a nicer place. Loved the one galloping 1:35 ❤

Absolutely inspirational work. I started following your projects around 2011 and I have been mesmerized by them ever since. Thank you for your remarkable work!
