Kinetic sculptor and artist Theo Jansen builds 'strandbeests' from yellow plastic tubing that is readily available in his native Holland.
The graceful creatures evolve over time as Theo adapts their designs to harness the wind more efficiently. They are powered only by the wind and even store some of the wind's energy in plastic bottle 'stomachs' to be used when there is no wind.

They're amazing, but seriously, if you went to the beach at dusk and saw one of those from a distance it'd be pretty damn scary.
Did that happen to you?
Imagine one just casually sprinting at full speed in your direction
I love how they refer to them as living. Beautiful.
Did you forget this video after 8years?
I am so happy that this man lives on earth.........
Barbara McKee Ikr
Imagine if this man lives in Mars
This is remarkable. I love it. Am fascinated by the 'smooth steps' of these animals; what a gifted man, to conceive THESE. It's absolutely beautiful. I could look at this for ages.
These could be placed on windy planets to just walk around and film...just think..they could carry wind powered generators and self recharge...
MELODY MUNRO - I like your style.
@@winstonhamel2116 NASA has actually invited him to design these types of things on Venus

"knowing that i will live on for the bitches, on the beaches" - Theo Jansen
I'm not the only one !! XD
+Gio Pietra Wow. After watching that video, that was your takeaway. Pure genius in action, and your comment is on pronunciation for one who's English is not his native language.
Rob Jones
WHOOOP WHOOOP FUCK OFF EVERYBODY THE FUN POLICE IS HERE!
NO FUN ALLOWED AROUND HERE! NOT ON ROB FUCKING JONES'S WATCH!
Seriously man, its just a joke, i think everybody is very well aware that thats not what he actually said. It just sounds funny...
This man is an absolute genius. It's about time that he was made a doctor of engineering. It's certainly no more than he deserves.
steve kilpatrick But he's also a mad art genius.
you may have a very good point there my friend 😊
Gosh, I'm reading all these comments here and I don't see a one that just purely celebrates Theo's creativity, playful love of life, and mastery of PHYSICS!!!! Can't ya's all just step back an inch and just purely enjoy his beautiful work without tearing everything to shreds!!?? There is such beauty out there in the world, and beautiful people who love and revel in it. We need to embrace and enjoy every aspect of life and every little thing it gives us. So, lighten up, folks, and enjoy!!!
This is genius! Art comes in many forms and this can only be described as extraordinary. Wish I could meet the artist when I am in Amsterdam in two weeks!!
What a passionate, intelligent, talented man! These are such beautiful, graceful works of art! ...and I agree with 'problembeing'...who could ever dislike this?!
It is very interesting that he wants to make them sustainable enough to run around the beaches forever.That's basically what he wants right?
yup. That part is a bit retardation.
I reckon that they'd be destroyed by the tide or something, but it is a great thought to want something that isn't alive to 'live' forever, perhaps, on the beach.
Truly amazing. I remember seeing these on television years ago and it has always stuck with me. I wish there was more like this on tv, maybe then everyone wouldn't be so damn stupid.
I actual plan on buying a mini one soon
Did you build one?
Wouldn't be incredible to have works of art that could generat power.. and be something of beauty at the same time.. I'm humbled
Wow! This is absolutely insane! I can't believe my eyes! I'm interested in robotics and such I believe that life is chemical and physical reaction and this only proves it! Such an awesome invention! I would pay this guy for living if I could aford it!
What a great expression of the artist's spirit. Just beautiful.
This reminds me of the Howl's Moving Castle anime from Hayao Miyazaki
+Connecting To Content I saw that movie yesterday :D
Kinetic sculpture is one of the most beautiful engineering/art-forms there is.
His guy is a design genius
An extraordinary art, of a extraordinary mind. Great artist who makes us dream.
Amazed...
This is simply incredible. I have never in my life seen anything like this!
As soon as he leaves them there for a few seconds alone.. *Walks straight into water*
I'd imagine he's working out ways of avoiding that lol
***** he already has, with empty plastic bottles he has created a DIY-form of compressor which sucks up air at ground level and as soon as it starts sucking in water it stops and reverses the process and the "strandbeest" start walking back from which it came from. I saw it on NGC pretty cool stuff;-)
That is a totally awesome artform. All I can say is wow! Very cool.
A WEAPON TO SURPASS METAL GEAR
Metal Gear?!
Yes.
Question? Would it surpass the impact of nuclear warfare, survive through an earthquake over 8.0 magnitude, tsunamis, and a violent storms?
These were the first strand type beasts
This is incredible! It shows all the beauty in the world and this is beauty at it's best!
Ideas en movimiento....
Although it seems easy, this smooth movement is awesome. Technically speaking this kinematic chain moves without any strike control; It is fascinating. I admire his effort for making an under-actuated robot which is inspired by the nature. look at the natural dynamics which move act, react & interact softly and smoothly. Soft harmony is what separate conventional mechanics from the creatures of nature. This guy is on the right way for manifesting nature power by breathing the spirit of it.
One million years later, some group of people will say those things are formed by random wind, dust and natural selection...
Oh fuck off.
Wow
Thank you for that divine....
What scares me is that you are telling the truth
Natural selection doesn't exist on automations like strandebeests...
breath-takingly beautiful 'animals" /creatures this creative genius has dreamt and brought to reality.....to walk the Beaches...or any other open place that catches breezes.....magnificent.
still watching in 2016 and thinking wtf
Still watching in 2018 and thinking this is a low-quality comment.
A beautiful melding of science and art.
Those machines are amazing, but he sounds so pretentious/crazy calling them "new forms of life."
Ha ha ha no kidding
Jason C No, they are welcome to say that. They don’t sound crazy at all.
@@Enchantedtinyfriend they sound a little crazy
The wonder of art!! Every creation of of the human spirit is filled with life, wether a painting, the written word, music, or science. All come from the human spirit desiring to express itself in the world. Theo Jansen is doing nothing more than expressing the heart of his spirit -- and for that I applaud him. what a great gift he has given to all who wonder at creation. Rube Goldburg would be proud! I am in awe of his magic, his art and his creativity.
these " things" are amazing.....but still " things " not animals :)
These animals are amazing.
Beautiful. I love it when people try to make this world better through their talents. Awesome!
why the fuck is he calling it life and animals
+mcrettable He's a Crazy Dutch Artist. Go figure.
its his art.
+Jérémie Beaulieu-Perrier I think he's talking poetically, and in his non-native tongue.
+mcrettable I mean, think about it. The same principles apply in the motion of nature. Things are in motion because of the forces of nature. Organisms are made of smaller parts, those parts made of even smaller parts. At the very smallest size, it all comes down to the forces of nature.
Nature is the creator.. Why wouldn't he know what science and biology are? This man in probably smarter than you in every way.
Those creations are BEAUTIFUL and fascinating! These, are great ideas that can be think upon and who knows?
What the next generation can revolution this concept into something much greater!
How I'd love to live to another 200 more years to see man's invention evolved into something extraordinary.
when they can replicate themselves, eat, and poop. then maybe they could possibly be classified as a life form. brilliant creation- but not life.
Robasian Sensation plants cannot eat and poop.
Winston Hamel Plants create food which they digest, and they remove waste after digesting it.
It eats and poops wind, so the only thing left is replication.
You sure showed him. You've defeated his master plan to take over the world with these things!
Thank you for saving us!
@@user-vr2vf9ty2j *Photosynthesis*
This is a very original work. It has both artistic and engineering merit. The creator should be recognized for this.
Blacks just don't build things like this.
share a copy of other technology and have a small dick because of radiation Fukushima and Hiroshima what the Japanese have invented for this world ??? thank you for Naruto and Dragon Ball z lemon face !!!
Novakira Sato what even
I like the movement, it is very natural.
mind-boggling! what a fascinating creation and more so, what an incredible mind mr jansen has. i am in total awe at how he conceived of this project. such an intricate design!
This is absolutely astonishing! I can see how they really are "alive" in a way. Really wonderful.
Theo, you will live on. Dont worry about that.
Your mechanical visions are wonderful by the way.
Holland... wind ... tradition. Great work.
This is totally cool. I admire the engineering skills involved in Theo's work.
Thanks!
Engineering and art superbly melded . There is something otherworldly and at the same time familiar about the way the legs move ! The artist should come to the US to show these strand beasts! I think we would celebrate his amazing invention.
This is so beautiful and original.
breathtaking genius and so beautiful
Wow, I saw this on television when I was like five. I've been trying to find this video ever since.
And since?
Absolutely incredible!! The work of a Genius!. The world needs more people like you. Congratulations!
This is amazing. And beautiful.
I love this man and his mission.
Oh my, this man is a very creative adult, knowing what he is doing, and he loves what he is doing for the world.
I remember this guy was originally doing his design calculations on an old atari which blew my mind that such an extremely old computer in the right hands can result in amazing things.
AWESOME!!!! What a mind, and what an imagination! WOW!
This video It's great and he has reason in everything in special in one thing when he says: "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds."
Wind powered robots! How cool!
fantastic and very inspiring...Jansen has the eye of the future. Wind and sea.
really well done.
thanks for posting
That is wonderful, thanks for allowing me to see your creation. You are a miracle! Larry Flagg
Fantastic, terrifyingly beautiful - totally enthralled!
Me, too. Amazing creatures!
ThIs is beyond words, I can't even begin to imagine how they work
~☆~ Artist Theo Jansen's whimsical STRANDBEESTS are simply magical to watch! These are bits'n pieces are pcb piping at its best! LOL! ~☆~
I am a member ..I am getting tried of people telling me where, and what I can post!!!! I made sure I joined all the places I was interested in .So stop telling me I can't ,or tell me what needs to yet be done!!! I am still leaning , others have be nice enough and helped when needed .❇
megan macleod ~☆~ Sweetheart, I hear you! Go ahead and post whatever you want. It's still a free country last time I looked! ~☆~
Thanks❇
Everybody gansta until the Strandbeests start walkin'
Absolute GENIUS!!!!!!!!
that little dog is so cute!
beautiful creation
Hi, this is Edna with The Nutro Company. Very impressive. It's amazing that these graceful creatures are made with abundant materials that would have added to landfill.
Incredible, absolutely incredible!
Really amazing. This should be close idea of how we work. A combination of many ligaments which move quite randomly to produce a combined correlated movement.
Beautiful.
Would be quite surreal to walk upon one of these creations on a quiet, bright and beautiful day on the beach. Would love to spend a day on the sand watching Jansen service his machine, trying to figure out exactly how they operate but never really fully understanding, which keeps me wanting to go back the next day.
wow ... is true when they say that if you can imagine then you can build ... is extraordinary, without harming the environment ...
Astonishingly astounding!!
this is in the Netherlands, I live very close to this man, I can see his work place from my house
9 years. Are you still alive?
@@lol-vx3uf Time flies but yes!
Unreal. Absolutely amazing!
Yeah, I saw it on another video yesterday. He had some kind of seminar were he talked about his animals and how the "brain" and the "heart" worked. Pretty fascinating
Oh, that those with dreams would make them realities as this man has done!
This guy is very creative... Really nice work.
This is incredible. What an amazing artist!
Wow, it's amazing how intricate those designs are! I wonder how long it takes him just to make one! They're really cool, the way the scuttle around, they almost do look alive XD
Amazing creature
simply astonishing
This just made me very happy.
Just unbelievable
That's absolutely bloody amazing...
wow truely insperational i never knew that somthing so dull colud be formed into life it shows what a strong mind can perform when i first saw this i thought it was computer generated its amazing
It is absolutely AMAZING!
UNBELIEVABLE, VERY FUNNY, BRILLIANT INVENTION
Absolute poetry!
Absolutely amazing. Wish i had that much time on my hands.
Simply amazing. Who are the 13 cretins who dislike this work of genius?
Those are incredible!!!!! Amazing.... how intricate! Just wow.
25 years years ago I met a prototype of this wandering PVC-dium. My labrador escaped in the sea. But Theo's inventions are beautifull.
simply brilliant
wow amazing this Dutch man is a genius!
Sheer brilliance. This man is an amazing scientist.
@mrg5150 I was actually thinking of the design for use in space exploration. I'm sure NASA guys could come up with some sort of electronic device and stronger materials to use in space, particularly on various planets for exploration.
