Theo Jansen's Latest Strandbeests


Strandbeests are kinetic machine sculptures that move under their own power along a beach.

Some of the latest versions are very fast and can even tow humans behind them. 

Theo Jansen's YouTube description of his creations:

........................................

Strandbeest Evolution 2025 provides an update on the evolutionary development which has been ongoing since 1990.

Every spring I go to the beach with a new beast.

During the summer I do all kinds of experiments with the wind, sand, and water.

In fall I grow a bit wiser about how these beasts are can survive the circumstances on the beach.

At that point I declare them extinct and they go to the bone yard.
