This is by no means new, but in case some of you have missed it, i feel obligated to enlighten you.
Theo Jansen, dutch artist or kinetic sculptor as he calls himself, is an interesting man. He creates skeletons that are able to walk, powered only by the wind. In his own small workshop he has created a number of different species, all equally beautiful and ingenious.
What makes it even more beautiful, is his vision of one day releasing his creatures to live their own lives.
The clip above is from a half-hour documentary that was released late last year. Head over to Theo Jansen's site for more clips and fascinating photographs.
