Since 1990, strange and wondrous new forms of life have been wandering the beaches of the Netherlands, walking on the wind. They are Theo Jenson’s “strandbeests,” self propelled kinetic skeletal sculptures of PVC and fabric. Now for the first time, the strandbeests have crossed the Atlantic and will be appearing this afternoon at Art Basel — Miami Beach.
To understand these amazing creatures, it is best to see them in their native environment. Take a look at the videos below:
Whoa! Those are very cool! Thanks a lot for sharing this. They’re probably not something I would have seen, otherwise.
Think I read something about them awhile back, but remember none of it.
