That's a sculpture by Theo Jansen that runs entirely off the wind.
He has since developed ways for the sculptures to save their wind energy and the ability to turn around when confronted with impassable obstacles like buildings or bodies of water. They even have a hammer system that will drive a stake into the ground when the wind becomes too extreme for them to handle.
The goal is to have a multitude of these different "animals" living on beaches and be totally self-reliant.
This is a pretty different way to sculpt and I'm just wondering...Where is the line between Scientist and artist?
Is there a line at all?
Or in this case, when does a person start becoming God?

That link doesn't work because I don't know how to Blog or link so just go look for Theo Jansen on Youtube. It's interesting.
yeah the link is not working for me either. But I have seen his stuff before. the stuff he makes is impressive to say the least. Scary to say the most

I was thinking about this yesterday. Esp with photography because in the past photographers were traditionally chemists not necessary artists.
I don't think there is necessarily a line now a days. Often science is art and vice versa
Fixed the link!
