I can’t define things like this as art.. just doesn’t compute for me.

Stunning piece of engineering though.

Gorgeous kinetic sculpture! Unlike Pete, I can see the art in the engineering. But I do understand his perspecitive. The definition of art is very personal. Thanks for posting the movie.

For anybody who wants to see more, Jansen’s website is at http://strandbeest.com/

I bought one of his books (which was in dutch, but I see that now he has at least one book in english) and DVD through that site a while back, he has some very interesting things he’s made. Including a device to spray-paint a picture on a wall of whatever is standing in front of the wall at the time, and a practical-joke UFO that he and a bunch of co-conspirators flew over Delft one fine day.

I’ve fooled around with paper versions of his leg mechanism (which is very elegant and smooth), but haven’t gone all-out and built a large walker yet.
