- Strandbeest Evolution 2021 provides an update on the evolutionary development. Every spring I go to the beach with a new beast. During the summer I do all kinds of experiments with the wind, sand and water. In the fall I grew a bit wiser about how these beasts can survive the circumstances on the beach. At that point I declare them extinct and they go to the bone yard.
The way he runs after the strandbeest walking towards is honestly so endearing, like he’s chasing after his child who’s learning to walk and already wants to run before he’s ready
Agreed. It looks like he's legitimately running after it to keep it out of the surf. I know it's just to save 'wood and cloth' but you see how much he cares for his art. The simple act can be a part of the Art too in a way.
I recently read about why Theo Jansen makes Strandbeest. He wants to show is that, in his words, the walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds. After watching these videos I couldn't agree more. Videos like these should be shown in schools.
Agree 100%. Nicely said
Watching this video in class currently so progress is being made! Lol
Certo Perfeito
I'm afraid the fascist republican cult would ban these videos.
Agree, though, sadly these days, someone would see demonic influence in their movements.
Best wishes on evolving new beests to test
What a bright and cheery visual. Animated art is rare, but to this degree was unheard of until this man broke our contemporary notions of what is possible. Can't imagine the engineering and work that goes into imagining, drawing up, building, transporting, and then chasing down one of these mobile masterpieces. A deeply profound sense of appreciation for this man and his team.
I love how the myriad feet quickly tippy toe across the sand with elegance and fluidity. Truly beautiful, I would love to be small enough to ride in one!
would a single human weigh them down completely?
They are so long. Maybe there's a way to distribute your weight across the entire skeleton.
Your Strandbeests give me a very special kind of inner peace. Watching them just has a very soothing nature to it. Thank you for sharing!
I agree... I was having such a shitty day till this video came into my feed.
Weird.
I'm normally a calm. Peace loving individual, but these things make me want to shoot burning arrows into their hearts.
These things & butterflies
It always gives me howl's moving castle vibes.
Definitely the castle-vibes! Made me smile though, they're cute and also terrifying in a way
Cosas de arte? O maravilla mecánica?
Original art forms, really original in these days is almost impossible to find, yet here it is; a perfect combination of technical skill, imagination and beauty. How I would love to see one of these in person someday, but at least here we get to see many of them. Thank you!
These things would likely scare the crap outta you if you were the only one there watching and not expecting to see them !
@@jowlorenz9555 yes, their movements seem so alive sometimes, with little hesitant feet. For sure it would be quite startling! 😀
@@KJensenStudio
I think you can actually buy some as models ...it's not the same but it's something.
@@DerEchteBold oh Yes! It's on my Christmas list, but I guess I have not been good enough yet. 😄 You might like to know, that here on youtube is a video of a man who used one of those models for learning how to build a Strandbeest that he sat upon and made it pedal-powered! It didn't go very fast, but it did go eventually. Inspiration is everywhere. Thank you. 🙂
@@DerEchteBold ho, here is the link to that video, not a spam, don't worry: ruclips.net/video/-dhN9zNzuCM/видео.html
Is this just a dream? Subtle and profound. Haunting and inspiring. Kept alive. Nurturing a tranquil state of being - example of how we can spend our days - in awe - co-creating wonders. What a wonderful possibility.
This is seriously amazing. It makes me think what could this type of design be utilized for beyond this already incredible expression of art? Such as harnessing the wind in sailing vessels where the sails don't just drag a boat, but in turn also drive similar mechanics to turn props and generators. Just on it's own the engineering is incredible.
When you know physics, you know this isn't a good idea.
I saw Theo’s strandbeesten a couple of years ago. I can’t find words to describe how special they really are. The way they move, it’s truly amazing. What an artist.
What an engineer!
I love how you can tell Dutch speakers from other language speakers by the way they pluralize Standbeest.
Ever since I first saw his work on YT it's been a dream of mine to see one irl! I'm in love with his creation! ❤
In times such as these it is immensely refreshing to see that human beings are also capable of beautiful things. Wonderful to watch. Thanks you.
You should see the dump I just took.
It’s not hard to see beautiful things daily. Just smile at someone and they will smile back. That is beautiful and easy.

Da Leonardo Da Vinci a oggi. Bel video. Complimenti.
Honestly - you should film all your creations in the magic light in the beginning of the video. Those dark, cloudy, dreamy skies are just perfect for the sculptures and remind me so much of Tanguy's magic, haunting world. Brilliant work with your Stransbeest!
What I find most captivating about the strandbeests are how lifelike they are. They truly seem alive, and it’s curious, because they have no artificial intelligence, no life-like textures or appearances, they are simply a combination of sailcloth and tubing. They probably could have been made (at much greater cost) hundreds of years ago, with oiled leather pouches for air sacks and reeds for tubing, and yet they are so lifelike out of such simple materials. It makes me wonder: just what about them is intrinsic to our human perception of life?
They sometimes have pneumatic sensors and logic gates so they can walk away from water ( basically if a tube can't draw air some can then start using stored up energy to push in the other direction)
similar thing happens to us being composed of cells
To our brains, if something moves seemingly on its own, then it is alive.
I think it’s that they use air to “breathe” they cannot move without the wind, like we can’t live without air.
They’re wind powered, and wind is often described as having a living quality.
When Theo runs over like a concerned parent to a stumbling toddler 🥰. Fantastically beautiful creations that speak a universal language - comments from across the world, great to see.
Yep very nice
Yes, the same thing I saw :)
Not stumbling, more like an over-active toddler but about to wander into the ocean ;)
He knows their time is short, since he declares them extinct in the fall.
@@schmodedo What do you mean?
I almost never comment on youtube videos, but this is really truly amazing. I came across the Strandbeest a few years ago and I was immediately filled with immense wonder. They have stayed on my mind and I think about them once in a while.
It feels as though they are from a different universe, or a parallel timeline. The majestic scenery and the classical music adds so much! I would be honored to witness one of your creations one day.
Absolutely bloody wonderful, glorious, quirky, funny, and brilliantly inventive. Sir, you are a genius.
This is absolute genius like I have never seen before. I am an aerospace engineer here in the States. I am gladly sharing this. Such unique thinking. As if I’m watching parallel evolution of other species that could exist elsewhere in the universe. Simply breathtaking.
Do you think these have any potential for light rovers for exploration or something like that?
This is a beautiful question. My mind goes to solar wind and plasma energy created by stars such as our sun. I even recall the great master Larry Niven exploring the interstellar movement of a sentient being (called the Outsiders, that followed star seed lures placed by Pierson Puppeteers in his iconic, award winning Ringworld novel-highly recommend.) Can solar wind function as lift? Such a great question. I need to think on this.
You may be thinking of movement on a planetary scale, but what about interstellar change in positions over time among the stars (travel)?
And to answer your question I think you are asking, yes, this could have application on Mars.
Translation Strandbeest is Beach beast.
This man been posting for 10 years and finally his video caught upto to the algorithm, props for never giving up and sticking up to your passion brother 🙏🏻
@Hvitis Pretty low standard for "complete". He also makes new ones all the time, so I highly doubt he would use such pretentious terminology.
Nah, I'm sure I've seen these few more times.
He is very well known in the art and science industry. He also has exhibition around the world before pandemic, doubt he would care the algorithm. But it is never a bad thing if it helps his work to be admire by more people.
Ami recién hoy
Lol yes finally his goal of getting algorithm'd !!
Конструкция движется, как живое существо. Потрясающе!
I'm hypnotized and terrified This is the true crossroads of art and engineering.
I can't imagine the patience and skill required to assemble just one of these let alone so many that are in this video alone! Amazing!
Wonder how many months he spent on one
What to do when wind changes or becomes too strong ?
I wonder if they are mostly CAD modelled ?
Some things can just be organically seat-of-the-pants engineered, but with so many parts inter-dependent one must get the fundamental geometry right and then replicate it many times
I imagine there are some fundamental kinetic machine elementary building blocks as starting points which are then elaborated
@@kurtklingbeil6900 Not sure about wind changing direction, but the strandbeest have multiple adaptations to survive storms. For example, Animaris Rex, the most recent beast, is many strandbeest connected together to form something of a superorganism, and this helps to survive storms as the strandbeest are less likely to be blown together in a group than if they were on their own. There are also strandbeest that drop an anchor and spread out their sails so much that they lift several feet into the air, which prevents being buried by sand in a sandstorm
@@person4579wow!
These are incredible pieces of engineering, but these would pretty scary to see undulating down the beach towards you if you weren't prepared to see them or were unfamiliar with them.
they are "uncanny" - intriguing, yet unsettling
Imagine being someone from a stone age culture encountering one of these. They would probably think it's a living being.
The are eldrich wicker horrors
On the other hand, imagine being familiar with them- that you eventually become so used to them, they become more of a friend that you meet on the beach once in a while.
Backrooms on the Beach!
At 2:45, watching the beest that is tied to the ground and desparately trying to lift off, the words 'animal abuse' popped into my head, and wouldn't leave. Your creations feel like real creatures to me. Bravo.
Ik this comment is 6 months old but they do not want to take off, the reason why they are in the air is not to fly to other places but as a method to avoid being buried by sandstorms. One day, when they detect that a sandstorm is coming, they will automatically place down their own anchor and spread their wings to lift into the air, thus dodging death. Theo Jansen is one smart man.
@@person4579he’s not questioning why, he’s stating it stirred up a human emotion to protect an “animal” :)
Blowing my mind! It's beautiful. The movement capture the movements of tiny starfish legs, shrimp, sea cucumbers, millepieds, centepedes, and birds. So lifelike yet so otherworldly. Love it.
I truly felt like I was looking at an other world somewhere in this vast cosmos where these where the life beings that evolved there. It was one of the coolest things I've seen in a long while. :) Truly enjoyed that.
with all these electronics, we forgot things can take life in a mechanical way, like harnessing the power of wind and weight. so impressive and fascinating-
@Pandacat 666 here's hoping!

@Pandacat 666 Unlikely, knowledge of firearms and explosives is far too widespread now for it to die.
Knowledge of the basics of electrical engineering is likewise very widespread.
As for the rest, steam power was invented 2000 years ago but took only 2 centuries to go from a mere novelty interest to the foundation of the industrial revolution.
Trust me when I say that regaining at least a basic grasp of what we had 100 years ago would not take so long at all.

This is the perfect vid to watch right after waking up when the night’s dreams are still fresh in the mind. It amplifies the already nice “is this real or am I still dreaming?” quality the footage already possesses.
My gosh, these are so very beautiful! Quite otherworldly. Just imagine coming across them without knowing what they are, you'd think they were sentient.
These are fantastic.
Just imagine how fast the worm strandbeests would go on an incredibly windy location like a tundra. They are so well desingned
i don't know, it is possible that they would get overwhelmed by strong winds and simply swept away, because it looks like they are made to walk instead of running. Although it is 100% possible to make a strandbeest that gallops, that would be really cool.
Wouldn't the vegetation get in the way?
Don't underestimate the windiness of Dutch beaches
This is one of the few RUclips flavour of the month always front page videos that I can get behind. Well worth a watch.
I love how open source and transparent the work is. Beautiful.
These images are magical, as, of course are the fascinating objects here, each more enchanting than the other. I cannot help but think of the enormous logistic to transport and deploy these enormous pieces, which, I can only imagine must be disassembled, loaded into a large vehicle, and then put together on the beach. Which means, for every minute of enchantment and magic, there must be countless hours of production and logistic to make it happen. And this is not considering the months of designing, r&d, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing. Mind blowing indeed.
they don't get prototypes: every machine before them is the prototype. also the manufacturing takes a week
Moat of it is wood and could literally fit in a container or two
@@johndawson6057 *PVC pipe.
also, do you...
do you not know how complex these things are? also, just the legs alone don't even fully fit in a pickup truck. do you have any spatial awareness or mechanical awareness?
@aidanmatthewgalea7761 yes, "they do get prototypes"; smaller versions to make sure the mechanics work. Did you think the pieces were produced as large as these are before testing with smaller prototypes? Think just for a moment.
I haven't seen Strandbeest for a few years. So glad you are still making them because they are remarkable in their apparent simplicity, but the physics is mindblowing.
Every flat beach needs some! I'm in Australia where there are many wide flat white beaches. I grew up on one that was 5ks long and 1k wide on a low tide. But the beach was almost completely covered at high tide so there would not be much room for a Strandbeest to rest on the high. 👍😄
If he can teach them to fly, then he can teach them to swim.
I'm obsessed with these beautiful creations. Thank you!
Someone who can marry art with science like this is closer to The One than anyone can ever hope to be .
I’ve been following your work since 2008, and the evolutions you’ve achieved have been nothing short of stellar.
This is the first I’ve seen of these!!
I suspect the word "evolution" is correctly used, here
I agree!
Imagine if he unleashed them on society! ...nothing would happen. Maybe people would be late for work.
Do you see evolution or the smart designs, creations so to speak?
I see the evolution more, despite the creatures in the earlier videos appearing just as spectacular.
Having read Richard Dawkins’ The Blind Watchmaker, I can’t see any living thing without considering where it/we came from.
Very telling though, that I see these as animals… it’s impossible to miss that.
Yo, this looks straight up from Da Vinci’s fever dreams and I love it!!! Hope to see some art on them in the future. Heck, a whole clockpunk setting with your creations would be beautiful.
Imagine that
I think you miss the point that these already are masterpieces of art

I could watch this man's creations for hours with a big smile on my face the whole time. Thank you Mr. Jansen.🌼
I came across this l, that morning during my meditation time. It was utterly breathtaking and mind boggling at the same time. I had to watch it over and over again. To see that there were no persons inside of the creation. I've seen some beautiful art in my life. But nothing I've seen comes close to this engineering wonder I've come access this morning. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me see your knowledge. I feel blessed ❤❤❤❤❤
Oh my God, I am speechless! wonderful artist and engineer in one! Leonardo!
Strange and beautiful. I especially love the centipede tails, or whatever you're calling them. The movement of the wave draws your eye back to the piece. They're mesmerizing and yet, somehow, they sorta give me the willies, but just enough to be very interesting, I can explore the feeling. My brain keeps trying to tell me they're alive, kinda like when you see a face in some wrinkled fabric. They remind me of Wayne Barlowe's book "Expedition" in the best way too.
They remind me alot of Jon Anderson's (from Yes) Flight of the Moorglade song --- from his solo Olias of Sunhillow album .
This video is incredible Theo. Your creations are mechanically beautiful. When I saw them in the air I stood up and said "what?", I didn't know you were teaching them to fly. I have so much respect for your decision to pursue an idea that is so progressive, and focused, and specific, but not defined or limited, or influenced in any particular way. It's hard to find the right words to express how your art makes me feel. I'm wasting my life, not living it.
Wasting life not living it about sums it up no one i know has commitment to anything on the level he does to mechanical engineering and the design of these machines this is a love affair of physics and fine carpentry he gives 100 percent

what? this looks creepy
Theo Jansen was a visiting artist when I attended Herron School of Art and I had the honor to see one of his sculptures move in person. Extremely complex and so elegantly created. Wonderful to reconnect with him again!
Looks like sci-fi creatures from a different dimension. The empty beaches add to the otherworldly feeling. Amazing sentient movements!
I have loved all the strandbeests I have seen over the years, but there is a special joy in seeing the small caterpillar-like beesties gamboling along the beach like playful wind puppies!
Wind puppies!
Amazing creatures with years of intense effort. It is hard to imagine what went into this, even how such things were transported to and from the beach. The videography is also excellent.
It's their natural habitat, the beasts don't have to be transported. Theo is there to greet and watch and document their evolution.
@@jonathanwalther Also, there is a DIY store around the corner.
He lowers them onto the beach using a blimp.

Goosebumps everywhere. The elegance, the majesty - and yet the strandbeests seem to be so "humble".
the most nature based engineering, sad we don't see more of this is real world engineering
Because ~300 years of experience tell us that this does not have much applications
Bioengineering you mean? It's a huge field with crazy cool inventions.
Cause it’s not practical and needs wind from the beach
Because just like wind turbines ------ in theory it sounds like a great idea but the reality is, it leaves a huge carbon footprint, is far from green and top problem ------- no wind, no work.
what ???
I've been watching this guy's progress for years, so awesome!
What an incredible feat of engineering, creativity and art. Absolutely love this!
One of the most amazing pieces of art ever !
A fusion of arts and engineering with passion.
I always imagine seeing these as beautiful alien animals. They are wonderful, thank you.
That's amazing. I've heard of the Strandbeeste years ago, I didn't realise they'd become so advanced though! I love the ones that fly! The one that has to be tethered down, could you give it some long strings, and let it escape into the sky? Some crazy bird or crab creature dancing across the sky would be amazing to see. How high might it be able to go?
Theo, have you thought about making one of these strong enough to ride? So you could sit on it's back, metres above the beach, and it's enormous wind-catchers would have it prancing and streaking across the sand, with you on the back pulling levers to steer it. Then when you're bored of that you pull the "transform" lever and it turns into a bird and you fly away.
I'm disappointed to hear they end up in the "boneyard", surely there must be museums and art galleries around the world interested in these? They're evidence that, if you really want to, you can do anything with science and engineering. Their inspirational value alone is immense, but seeing some of the mechanisms explained in a museum would be good too.
Seriously, yes, these need to be preserved in some way! It would be awesome if they could go on tour, and you could do presentations for schools & universities. 💚
The problem isnt flying, its getting them to land safely.
Would be interesting to see what a cosplay or professional costume designer would do with those. I know seeing something that looked alien but alive come at me would have me running. the fact I can see its mechanical is the only thing that saves me right now.
I had the opportunity to see these beautiful Strandbeeste in person some years ago and the whole experience was astonishing. Theo Jansen is a genius who deserves greater recognition.
@@erinmcdonald7781 They go on tour, I attended an exhibition in Madrid some years ago.
Stunning! Inspiring to realize how much thought and effort was put into these creations by Theo Jansen. What a wonderful way to approach and live life! 👍
I did a report on these back in highschool. Seeing so many old and drad yourube channels resruficing recently im glad to see thay this isnt onw of them. Cant wait to see the next evolution. Amazing work! 😊
The level of engineering to accomplish such a feat is incredible, great job!!
It's a single basic concept repeated in each structure. Doesn't require brilliance. Just obsession.
These are pretty simple, a bunch of times.
These are incredible. The fluidity of the centipede-like wave is breathtaking!
So beautiful, from engineering to presentation... thank you
these strandbeests are both majestic and scary ( awe inspiring )
I've known about these for years but had no idea they were still being made!! Beautiful, incredible work.
Those are truly BEAUTIFUL!!!
Simple wind walkers that are art in motion!!!!
Something peaceful and relaxing watching them traverse the beach!
Sorry, not downplaying the incredible engineering by using the word “simple”..
Just a word to describe the beautiful fluid motion.
I could watch this all day and the music just makes me want to cry. I love it!
Enchanting! I love how organic the movements are!
Thank you Theo for your years of dedication and hard work to create these wonderous, fascinating creatures. You have captured thousands of people's imaginations with your marvelous Strandbeests.
As an engineer, I'd love to see the video of how they get these things to beach and assemble them before they start walking...

hello future viewers! you have been blessed by the RUclips algorithm with this wonderful video
First time seeing this, I couldn't quite place what I felt. I was at the convergence of fright, awe, and curiosity; transfixed by both the familiarity and alienness of it.
Watching the birds react to the strandbeest, that was very special.
Мир крупных насекомых, даже движения как у насекомых. Здорово и очень красиво! Что то неземное. В этом есть... Простор первозданной пустоты берега , и небо за горизонт сливающееся с водой! Красотища!!Завораживает!!
This has got to take a tremendous amount of research. The thing I get from it that the power of wind has so much potential.... I'm just mind blown as how you even start such amazing projects.
That is the most uplifting and touching thing I have seen in a long time. They are so undeniably alive!
懐かしい！１０年以上前、東京でも展示が有って子供と見に行きました😆 今は更に進化していてビックリしました。とても美しい作品だと思います
these are some cool strand-type-beasts.
I haven't seen the flying one or the caterpillar ones before!
Yes!! The flying one was brilliant, you were just willing it to take off across the sea, maybe turn and nod to Theo and then just disappear over the horizon.
"Strand-type beasts".
Oh Kojima....
I can't explain why, but seeing these undeniably awesome mechanisms walk gives me a genuine fight or flight instinct
Imagine napping on the beach and waking up to one of these coming toward you. I think the first thing I'd do is look at my cooler to see how many beers I drank... 😂. Really is incredible, would love to see irl.
It is so senseless and this is the whole beauty, this artist created something incredible. I love the relation of nature and the objects, their dynamic…wonderful, thank you for sharing this.
Art at its finest..he's a mathematician..an engineer..a.poet..aerodynamics.. utterly amazing!
Blown away. At first I was peering at the screen , trying to see the people hidden inside doing the pedalling, but then I realised I was seeing genius of engineering and art combined.
