Theo Jansen h
as devoted much of his time to creating kinetic art that has the ability to basically, get up and walk away. By building monumental structures such as this one, entitled Animaris Sabulosa, he successfully blends art and technology. To make this piece, he studies the movements of land based animals to create a skeletal structures that responds to outside stimuli, such as in this case, the wind. Other factors regarding locomotion of this work include the ground density, and computer generated randomness. Theo Jansen builds giant fossils from other dimensions, that somehow have managed to maintain the energy necessary to stay alive.
