Theo Jansen (He was born in 17 March 1948 in Scheveningen, in the Netherlands ) is an artist and kinetic sculptor living and working in the Netherlands. He builds large works - "Strandbeest" - which resemble skeletons of animals which are able to walk using the wind on the beaches of the Netherlands. His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering. In a BMW television commercial, Jansen says "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds."



Theo Jansen (Ele nasceu em 17 de março de 1948, na cidade de Scheveningen, na Holanda) é um artista e escultor cinético holandês. A sua obra é especialmente conhecida pelos trabalhos de grandes dimensões que se assemelham a esqueletos de animais e que são capazes de caminhar utilizando a energia do vento. As suas obras são uma mistura de arte e engenharia; em um comercial de televisão da BMW, Theo Jansen afirma que "as fronteiras entre arte e engenharia existem apenas em sua mente".

  2. Great choice, Sonia. Jansen is a most gifted artist with a brilliant mind.

    By the way, you might want to revise the link to the videos. When I clicked it all I saw was a dialog box suggesting that my computer had a virus (malicious spam that tries to hijack your browser and some of your visitors may fall for it).

  8. You've done it again, Sonia!
    Brilliant, brilliant post.
    Just when I think nothing on this earth can surprise me - something does!
    Those creatures are beautiful as free-standing sculptures, but to see them moving is utterly fascinating!
    Thanks for sharing - I would never have seen them if it wasn't for you!

  11. Sensational! Some kind of "da Vinci" touch to these "machines"! (I just wonder how he can make his living on this? Must be difficult to sell these pieces of art, they will stay where you put them!)

  14. That's great that you could find the new videos (don't worry, nothing happened to my computer, I don't click on "suspicious" links ;D).

    By the way, Sonia, I just noticed I forgot to add a (lovely) mural to the post I published today so I updated it. I know you like murals so
    here it is.

  15. A arte existe exatamente pra nos despertar reações.
    O pior tipo de arte é aquele que nos deixa indiferentes.

  16. Maravilhosas!!!!!! Parecem criaturas do espaço.

  17. Oh My God...These are extrordibary Sonia...In every way conceivable...There is something almost hunan or animal--But Living---about these as they move along the Beach....The last one on the YouTube clip is like an Abstract Elephant! AMAZING! There is so much "feeling" in these...!

    And I love the music and sounds you have playing on your blog Sonia......I rarely keep my sound on, but I had it on when I got here and the music and nature sounds are quite lovely and relaxing!

  21. Hi Sonia. all I can say is simply amazing sculptures

  22. Some of them remind me of a live shrimp! How unusual and imaginative. Thanks for sharing Sonia.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Sonia, Wow! The man is truly a genius. One of those sculptures in the video looked like it would take off and fly. I wonder how he stops them from drifting into the ocean.

    Thanks for sharing.

    All art is the expression of one and the same thing--
    the relation of the spirit of man to the spirit of other men
    and to the world.

  32. Sonia, você sempre encontra uma forma bem legal de nos distrair das confusões do dia-a-dia. Adorei. Bjs!

  33. These works are truly amazing - I remember seeing the advertisement here in South Africa as well. Can't remember what they were advertising as I was too fascinated by these walking sculpture. He must have an incredible mind to not only envision these, but to build them as well.

  34. sonia, thanks for this great post and links to you tube, I ended up watching quite a few, just captivating!

    ReplyDelete

  36. Stunning photos!
    My eyes are boggled!!

  37. I absolutely love the first photo/art work. The structures look like alien beetles surfacing from the water to attack Earth.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I had never heard of Theo Jansen so watched the video you linked to. There are a lot of other YouTube videos on that page as well, including links to TED talk he gave, explaining how he constructs them. Very wonderful! He hopes that these animals can live on their own in the future; right now he has to help them a lot!
