These bizarre creatures are Strandbeests, remarkable kinetic sculptures that blur the lines between art and engineering. Since 1990 Theo Jansen, a Dutch artist and engineer, has been creating these intricate, wind-powered structures that mimic the movement of living organisms. The name:"Strandbeest" translates to "beach animal" in Dutch, aptly describing these creations as they are often seen wandering along the shores. Jansen's Strandbeests are made from lightweight materials such as PVC pipes, and their complex systems of joints and sails allow them to harness wind energy for movement.
