Dutch artist, Theo Jansen created 'STRANDBEEST' -- a series of intricate and kinetic sculptures that resemble walking, wind-powered creatures, to demonstrate that the walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds.

These large-scale sculptures are made primarily from PVC tubing and are driven by the wind. Jansen began creating Strandbeests in the early 1990s, and they have evolved over the years in both design and complexity.

The Strandbeests are designed using nature based engineering to move on beaches, using the wind to power their intricate leg mechanisms. Some variations of the Strandbeests are capable of responding to changes in their environment, such as avoiding obstacles or sensing the tide.

Theo Jansen's work blurs the lines between art, engineering, and biology by creating mesmerizing and otherworldly mechanical life forms that showcase the beauty of both nature and technology.
