STRANDBEEST EVOLUTION 2017

Numerous specimen of the Strandbeest evolution on music of Khachaturian's Spartacus. It open the archives of fossils. Theo Jansen's work since 1990. He tries to make new forms of live on beaches. His animals get their energy from the wind so they don't have to eat. In the future he wants to put out in herds.

This looks medieval, futuristic, robotic, and organic all at the same time.

There’s something so animalistic, otherworldly, and yet mechanical about these things, and yet they just serenely walk across the landscape as if they belong there.

THIS is modern art I can stand behind!





Because standing in front of it is too dangerous.

This is by far the BEST version of this guy's crafts. Best scene shots and music 👊👊👊🔥💯

Is this planet earth...??
Or did Leonardo da Vinci reincarnate??

If I saw these walking machines under the moonlight, I lose my consciousness with being terrified.
But under the sunlight, they are so cute.

These sculptures feel like living entities to me because they mimic animal movements. How wonderfully designed and built they are!!!

[Ernthir]

I love art so much. Im pretty sure everyone has wonderfull idea's. But to actually work them out into something like artists do is something I have always had great trouble with. I have nothing but respect and admiration for that.

[Quicksilver_Cookie]

These things are absolutely surreal. Gave me goosebumps.

[ramentaco]

I don’t know how to express the way these things make me feel

[Darkwormhole]

This is brilliant engineering on a different level.

[Sashstashreview]

This man found his purpose in life...
And youtube algorithm finally found me something worth to watch in a while...

[oldstickygummybear]

[talesontables]

[sklls]

[pierregiguere]

Mechanical poetry, reaches your soul immediately, as soon as it moves, whatever age you are.
We need more of this!

[CrowfieldTunes]

Imagine walking by yourself on the beach and you see one of these things running towards you....

[AngelVazquez-xhdh]

Thanks YouTube algorithm, don't know why and how, but thanks

I absolutely love this. If I could see this at the beach in person it would change my life. It may permanently lower my blood pressure. BRILLIANT!!
