I found this today. This artist creates sculptures that walk, powered by the wind. They are mind-blowing. He comments in the video that the line between art and engineering can be very blurry, and I think he proves his point.

Wow.

Those are amazing. I would love to learn how to build something that intricate and functional.

Since about ten years Theo Jansen is occupied with the making of a new nature. Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic matierial of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind. Eventualy he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.
Majorly cool!!
