A long time ago, theo jansen uploaded a video of himself making them, step by step, and explaining the materials and mechanisms, showing what failed and what was successful... i could never find it again as much as I've looked.. i guess maybe hidden or deleted.. i just remember he was building inside a tent with clear plastic hanging down as a wall or door.. it was probably close to 2 decades ago.
@@caterpillarnana uploaded back then, yeah.. i mean, maybe it's still out there and you saw it more recently, but i can't find it. I have seen some more recent small snippets... but the one I'm talking about was really thorough, almost teaching people to build them.
this applied to chinese,egptians babylions and romans long ago. wait enough and you'll see dutch and European fall to stagnation and corruption, then enjoy them heh
The more I listen the more I don’t understand your comment. They’re perfectly clear, good initiation, it flows well, pronunciation is accurate… Why do you think the channel needs a different narrator?
I think that Salvador Dali would have loved Theo and his work. Seeing a strandbeest moving across the sand against a grey and moody sky is an image as unforgettable as the ants and 'melted clocks' in Dali's 'The Persistence of Memory'.
I used to share these videos with my Environmental Science students. Great example of both repurposing materials, as well as harnessing the power of the wind.
Repurposing means using discarded or already used materials, right? This looks like virgin plastic off the shelves to me, but I really do not know. It's a great school project though. I would like to see it made of bamboo and glass. Leave a non-toxic skeleton. PVC degrades into serious poison.
@@andypanda4756 I believe Jansen originally used repurposed plastic waste for his creations, however, as they gained in popularity and demand, he resorted to purchasing materials rather than recycling them. I agree that using plastic is not exactly environmentally friendly, but Jansen states that organic materials (such as bamboo) tend to rot over time, given the environment the "beasts" are found in.
@@danadagostino948 Soaking bamboo in borax solution gives us 15-20 years of working life here in tropical Thailand. Wood rots here faster than most places, I wouldn't be surprised if a Northern climate added some years to that; especially if kept dry. Has he mentioned how long the conduit pipe lasts on the beach before it needs replacing? I think it's electrical conduit at least. It can't last forever. My guess is they would have similar lifespans. The consistant size and weight of plastic pipe makes it super easy to work with. It would be difficult with the tapering width of bamboo. I just wish we used safer chemical stock to make plastics.
Thank you so much for your video.I have enjoyed watching the Strandbeests for years. Yours is the first video I've seen that give's Theo and the Strandbeest's history. Thank you for all the lovely footage of the different beests.
I bought his official kit for my son, a must to have. I'm full of admiration for Jansen. The potential opened by this artist is huge : next steps could be adding wind turbine generators to add light or cybernetics, or wind could be used to make music with self-configurating instruments using pipes, horns or percussions... its infinite...
his creatures would look amazing in a solarpunk story, like in a futuristic earth, this creatures would've become so advanced that they live by themselves on the beach and other windy areas
The man is a genius it's amazing how he thought of this way to move! They look beautiful, to think of it is first! but the effort to build them, is outstanding
I love it the genius of thoe Jansen works. But the AI voice creates an atmosphere of simplemindedness that makes me not finish watching instead I'll find his website.
I wonder if it is possible to make something like wind-powered walking bicycle using the existing sail principles aswell as techniques that would allow it to even go against wind
Just goes to show how superior the human brain is compared to other animals. You'd have to be intelligent enough to grasp the concept of artistry, craftsmanship, mathematics, engineering and physics to build things like this.
Now that is genius of a degree that few of us possess. I'll bet he could design a much better windmill. And if a miniature version of it would work, think how popular a toy it would be for kids. I can see many other geniuses being spurred on by this and having competitions for wind-powered contraptions of this sort.
How does he steer them if he was to let them go free? Is it from they stick close to the water and weave in and out of wet sand to dry sand and that’s what steers them up and down the beach from difference in friction?
I would realy like to know whether the wind-bottle-storage was also evolved, or if it was engeneerd by person. And I also woul like to have a video seen here that demonstrate how it functions ❤
I think they’re from Ygam… Our planet Ygam has just one satellite, the Wild Planet, which is uninhabited and is used for meditation. Ygam is divided into several Uvas. Two of them, Strom and Yo, are natural and symmetrical. Urtana is the largest Uva and is completely covered with blue assanic blocks. Furthermore, temperatures there range from 8 to 243 laiks, making exploitation impossible. Our Uva, Goham, has a fepular inland sea that stabilizes the apenosh at about 25 laiks.

I agree!!!
He should he built most the design
Indeed he would!
We have these same things in Los Angeles beaches. The strandbeasts live in tents and have needles and trash surrounding them at all times

If your using AI to write your script, atleast check it for mistakes. Some of the things beeing said are complete nonsense.
Bad guess. It's just translation-awkward.
I notised a lot of repetition like a ChatGPT would have been the author, though
I've noticed a lot of lazyness like that starting last year. People don't even proof-read subtitles of shorts now, just leaving em full of mistakes
Yeah U noticed this too. The whole script is ChatGPT
@@Radiogirl1931pathetic
This is what I want to do when I grow up.

I saw that video! Was it really 2 decades ago ?

good luck on becoming a strandbeest!
This is what grown ups do which preserve the heart and the curiosity of a child.
Brilliant and uniquely Dutch. Masters of wind, sand and water.
And clogs! (4:50)
And slaves 😮

This is real art, unfortunately most modern art museums do not appreciate it that way.
Imagine a collab with H.R. Geiger ❤
Nope. They're too busy being a money laundering scheme.
Is it really so expensive to hire a voice actor to read the script? A human voice would add much feeling to this video.
???? What do you want?
The stilted AI voice is grating and unlovely.
I like the voice over/narrator, it sounds a quite natural British accent, maybe you were expecting a different accent?
The more I listen the more I don’t understand your comment. They’re perfectly clear, good initiation, it flows well, pronunciation is accurate…
Why do you think the channel needs a different narrator?
@@lilacscentedfushias1852i think it’s an ai voice
Can’t believe Zen is doing a documentary voice over. How far she gotten .😔🙏
Amazing & brings to mind Miyazaki.
😂😂no comments
A masterpiece

I love this. Another example of an Artist's ingenuity😍
These AI scripted videos are getting out of hand
yea
It would be a nightmare to get AI to generate these overlapping shapes in constant movement.
Brilliant. I found him and his work online about 2001. I’m more impressed every time I see that he’s still working and creating more evolved beasts.

こんなの作れるものなの？ 凄い才能ですね。
見飽きることがないです、ただただ感心するだけですね。
It really is amazing.
Thank you. These are so wonderful. It's been my ambition to see one of these walking along the beach, somewhere, some day.

I am enchanted by this! It’s magical and so beautiful! Love his work! Leonardo is dancing in his afterlife.
He’s a genius. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for supporting this channel!
At what ?
Nice to know this guy is still at it
Leonardo DaVinci

Brilliant, and incredible dedication. Mythologic.
guy's a genius, makes me proud to be half dutch. i feel more dutch than anything actually even though i don't live there
They put Zentreya to work.
They are fantastic! Most beautiful things I´ve ever seen.
IF I LOSE IT ALL🗣🔥🔥

IF I LOSE IT ALL LOSE IT ALL AAAAAA🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🤯🤯🤯🔥

Absolutely amazing
The work of Theo Jansen is amazing, but the AI narration here isn't great...
Stunning! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
So "Stranded" just means "Beached"! Learn something new every day!
No life survives alone. Symbiosis with humans means survival.
Absolutely mind blowing
his creatures would look amazing in a solarpunk story, like in a futuristic earth, this creatures would've become so advanced that they live by themselves on the beach and other windy areas
This is the most interesting man-made object I have ever seen!
Pure magic of a bright mind of wich comes around once in a century.
Deep respect & admiration 👍🍀
Fascinating potential, just add wind. You need these 'outside of the box' origami thinkers. 🐛
I REMEMBER SEEING THOSE ON WALLACE AND GROMIT 😭😭
I’d love to see this in person.
Absoluut fantasties ,Theo, thank you for sharing your wonderful art!!
Beautiful and so poetic !
Absolutely amazing!
Kinetic energy based Highest form life !
Energy given form and birthed as soon as any energy is available.
i want this but in a eren's founding titan form
So beautyfull. The creators of our universe wil, be very pleased by this man.
The man is a genius it's amazing how he thought of this way to move! They look beautiful, to think of it is first! but the effort to build them, is outstanding
Incredible. Where does he store all these beasts?
I love imperfect art invented that will take over its own life and survive on its own. This Jansen is a perfect person.
Would this work well on ice?
Too well.
Sicherlich !! Und,es wird bestimmt ein guter Anker brauchen 😆😅🤣🤣
Zentraya?
This is really interesting, thanks for sharing!
My pleasure!
Génial!
Creates “form of life” ✨proof of evolution✨
This cannot be considered life by any definition. It's just a catchy way of drawing attention to his art.
Wonderful.
I love it the genius of thoe Jansen works. But the AI voice creates an atmosphere of simplemindedness that makes me not finish watching instead I'll find his website.
When I was i child I already know his work. But there was no much content about it. Those technologies are fascinating.
Hallucigenia!
A living Art!!
Didn't know Zentreya did some Narration Work, Noice.
Another grand design someone I feel like I've been watching since 2012 and it never ceases to amaze because these structures cannot be AI generated.😊
This may an is a genius. Love what he has done…
Stunning!
I wonder if it is possible to make something like wind-powered walking bicycle using the existing sail principles aswell as techniques that would allow it to even go against wind
Oh wow, you got Zentreya narrating this, lmao!
Half of these look like they came out of a Felix Colgrave animation.
proves that mind is necessary for design
This is incredibly fascinating🎉🎉🎉🎉
what a charmed life pursuit
Yes stuff like this is the answer.
He’s insane! Proposing that these Lego machines have life and will evolve to exist independently of humans is insane! Snap out of it!
Wow i like that one😊
Just goes to show how superior the human brain is compared to other animals. You'd have to be intelligent enough to grasp the concept of artistry, craftsmanship, mathematics, engineering and physics to build things like this.
brilliant ,beautiful
Wow, a new video on these? It has been ages!
Theo Jansen's just like Eren fr, "he's not free, he's a slave"
Mad Genious!!! (- background in phsysics!❤)
Awesome video.. although narration sounds like it was written and voiced by AI.
Now that is genius of a degree that few of us possess. I'll bet he could design a much better windmill. And if a miniature version of it would work, think how popular a toy it would be for kids. I can see many other geniuses being spurred on by this and having competitions for wind-powered contraptions of this sort.
would it really be that much effort to proof read what chat GPT wrote?
Not bad content for an AI narration!
very cool!
This video was read by the vtuber zentreya
Imagine being on the beach and just seing a pack of strand beast passing by that be so creepy but awsoem
He should teach his skills to younger people…these things are just beautiful to watch
this is Gnarly!
That is so cool
How does he steer them if he was to let them go free? Is it from they stick close to the water and weave in and out of wet sand to dry sand and that’s what steers them up and down the beach from difference in friction?
imagine these cleaning the beaches in future
We have these same things in Los Angeles beaches. The strandbeasts live in tents and have needles and trash surrounding them at all times
I would realy like to know whether the wind-bottle-storage was also evolved, or if it was engeneerd by person. And I also woul like to have a video seen here that demonstrate how it functions ❤
"He hopes they will live independantly on the beach," yeah fxxxxxx right!
I take it you are fascinated with kites and decided to make creatures using the same concept
Fantastic
Amazing
Does it do beach clean up, or not?
Amo estas estructuras, parecen realmente seres vivos, me dan mucha ternura❤🎉😊
Bin begeistert! Echte visuelle Poesie
Beautiful and interesting, but why would he think that these creations could self-repair or reproduce?
Really cool!~! ground ornyflapter~s! :D!
Imagine if there could be a strandbeest-legged pedal bike becoming more practical than having wheels.
I think they’re from Ygam…
Our planet Ygam
has just one satellite, the Wild Planet, which is uninhabited and is used for meditation.
Ygam is divided into several Uvas. Two of them, Strom and Yo, are natural and symmetrical. Urtana is the largest Uva and is completely covered with blue assanic blocks.
Furthermore, temperatures there range from 8 to 243 laiks, making exploitation impossible.
Our Uva, Goham, has a fepular inland sea that stabilizes the apenosh at about 25 laiks.
Fixation blocks combat pontic ribation, and emmaliate domes regulate pressure.
All Uvas undergo a cycle of three seasons of differing lengths.
Hallo 🙂
Darf ich fragen, wer oder was lebt auf dem Planeten Ygam ? ....LG
This is the only AI i ever want to see. And i can't see enough of them.
