Theo Jansen's Strandbeest

Dutch artist Theo Jansen  uses PVC to build large but graceful mechanisms called Strandbeest that move on their own, powered by wind. Jansen says: "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds." He strives to equip his creations with their own artificial intelligence so they can avoid obstacles by changing course when one is detected, such as the sea itself.
