since 1990, theo jansen has been creating skeletons made of yellow electric-conduits which walk on windpower...animaris. the image above is a direct decendent of the anamaris weighing 2 tons and standing 15 feet tall, yet can be set into motion by a single person, then rely solely on the wind for power of motion.

theo studied physics at the university of delft in holland( netherlands, whatever ) from 1968-1975. he left to become an artist.

when it comes to his evolutionary creatures, theo would like to see them lead their own lives someday...in herds...on a beach. you can read a short interview of theo at artificial, photos and videos at strandbeest
