It open the archives of fossils. Theo Jansen's work since 1990. He tries to make new forms of live on beaches. His animals get their energy from the wind so they don't have to eat. In the future he wants to put out in herds.

Randomly seeing many of these on a beach would make you feel like you're on another planet
Yeah it would cool to see life that worked like this
@@Oblivatrixon So true... we have no idea of what majestic creatures could be roaming other worlds!!
Would be pretty cool honestly
Also, glad to see you here :D
Mother Earth has relciamed back her creation. You follow this you will end up where they will be
Not surprised you're here
So, these creations have no electricity, motors, etc?? Just pure engineering moving from wind? That's amazing!
The little wind catches at the top can be seen spinning, charging up a flywheel
@@GigaChad-yu4sh That's cool man but ahh why hasn't i seen MORE OF THIS
The plastic bottles appear to be pressure tanks, so I'd guess they are pneumatic.
They use also applicated inertia...
I'd rather not believe it until I see it with my own eyes. People chronically lie on the internet you know
It’s astounding how much my brain tries to tell me these creations are living creatures, despite my rational self knowing that’s not the case. Amazing.
You might be mentally handicapped
I feel the same way
Maybe that's because their movements seems to be very natural, not some sort of robotic locomotion.
Same here! I kept having to remind myself just for a nanosecond that “that’s right,..is NOT a real animal “😂
How do they work?
Crazy how these majestic creatures evolved over millions of years from the humble walking stick. Nature is amazing
there's something both horrifying and beautiful about these things
Only beauty men, this is amaizing work..
Felipe Barañao Only horror, it is disgusting work
Michael Robles Its because it's not alive (or fed with anything) and its beign forced to walk by living forces. It acually feels bizarre because it reminds a dead animal beign "reanimated" bizarrely.
blacksmith224 right
It reminds me of one of those Dali's painting...
fantastical nightmarish surreal realm
Amazing how organic the movement is!
A kite can make me feel like that 👩🏭 Now I want to make a kite.
quisiste decir que parece que tiene vida exacto
it can almost bring a chill down my spine
that is exactly the ART part of it
It is like seeing animals moving but only their bones without a head
To this day, this is still one of the most interesting videos I have ever watched. It captivates me in a way that I can’t quite describe. The choice of musical accompaniment, I think, is perfect.
Khachaturian.
As an evolutionary biologist, I find these stunningly beautiful and awe inspiring. What a clever and inspired man, somewhat ashamed I’ve never seen them before, not generally appreciative of post modern art but this is just wow. Thank you.
I studied biochem at uni and was especially interested in the evolutionary side of things, so maybe I see these creations in a similar way to you
They do look very organic, don't they?
And it makes you wonder like... are we/our cells just machines in the same way, mechanically responding to stimuli as a direct result of it being applied, like the movements of these strandbeests under the influence of the wind?
I get a similar vibe from watching these strandbeests as when I see videos of bdelloid rotifers eating other microorganisms, with all their lil cillia waving about...
But thats a very mechanistic way of looking at it.
Whats the ghost in the machine?
@@mainr7142 I sail too and see life as a biological machine, so these hit all my buttons. They remind me of being on a beach as a kid and laying on the sand with a magnification lens watching all the invertebrates, or looking down the microscope at a sample of pond life.
With your vast knowledges, are you able to tell what a “woman” is?
I feel like there needs to be a distinction between the garbage that gets shit out for millions of dollars and stuff like this that’s just real neat and take a lot of skill
@@FlyingAceAV8B Providing what they are choosing to do isn’t having a negative effect on you, why does it matter? If it is personally causing you harms then there is a valid debate about relative rights or harms. There are a very small number of genuine intersex people born.
These wonderful creations have nothing to do with gender identity.
Da Vinci would've been so happy to see this
ikr
Not as happy as Salvador Dali
i just thouhgt of da vinci then see your comment their mind are alike
Da Vinci would've been so happy to be alive
كل خرى عن جد You do know that Da Vinci was married for a time right? Do your freaking research you wacky Iraqi...
These really are some of the most amazing things I've ever laid eyes on. Imagine the creativity, the trial and error, the brilliant planning and design... the mind behind these creations is nothing short of pure genius.
Exactly. Correct.
It was generated largely by a computer.
***** Yes, but being a programmer i know something like this isn't immensely difficult.
***** I never said i did. Clearly my point is that the creator is not "nothing short of pure genius"
yeah... |)
I don't think I've ever been more mesmerized by a mechanical model in my life. This is art and science blended into something new and exciting.
Seeing people from all over the world uniting to appreciate these masterpieces is really heartwarming. It truly does bring a tear to my eye.
its uncanny how natural their movements look, almost organic
They are organic. They were made by humans.
@@andybaldman is wood organic? Idk
@@assertingdominance1759 wood is organic
@@_MahesaAkmalAlFahrezy is iron organic?
@@assertingdominance1759 whats that have to do with anything?
These are unbelievable!
Imaging waking up on the beach after a nice nap, and seeing this coming - you'd think you were still dreaming!
definitely 😵🤣

@@rapipocudo8690 I don't know what you'd die of - fright maybe?
It feels like I'm watching the opening of an old movie about futuristic technology. A great epic about a man with a dream, living a beautiful life in another planet. Thank you, sir. I'm glad that i was able to watch it.
Only just found this. The name that immediately came to mind when I saw this was Da Vinci. This guy is obviously also an engineering mastermind, goes without saying, and an extremely talented artist. All you need is a sail and some wind to fill it, and you can go anywhere!. These kinds of videos are a breath of fresh air when you find them, they beat all the rubbish about wars and all the other crap going on in the world at the moment. The world needs more art, less war!.
The way they move without disturbing the sand is so magical, almost like they weigh nothing at all.
They are very light.
_Feels like nothing at all...nothing at all...NOTHING AT ALL!_
...stupid sexy Flanders.
Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all, nothing at all.
@@wyo1234 …….OMG!, Jeff your not wearing any cloths, your buttass naked. Get off that couch and go put something on, we don’t want the furniture smelling like ten day old ass.
@@wyo1234 Expanded the replies looking for this comment, was not disappointed. xD
The way they move so organically makes them seem strangely charming and unassuming; almost innocent, in a way. It makes me want to pet them.
I'd definitely pet it. And give it a cookie
Makes sense as their energy is organic. Wind is natural. And the idea to harness wind energy to create a lifelike object is incredible.
Creepy!🤷🏼♀️
My fiance makes robots and let me just say... I'm ready.. oh yeah, 🔫 I am ready..I sleep with 1 eye open, sleep with my dogs and cats as alarms...I am ready...
I too kind of felt them cute as they would dance, or pick up stuff, mimic us, but 1 day he ripped his own cords out, even my fiance couldn't understand it..
He reached behind himself and ripped out his own cords 👀 since then, I DON'T TRUST THEM.. LISTEN TO THOSE GENIUSES WHOSE WARNED HUMANITY ABOUT THIS CRAP!!
@@savedbyJESUS777 Then again humans are plenty chaotic and unpredictable.
@@savedbyJESUS777 Okaaaay? But these aren't robots. They're several pieces of wood put together and designed to move when the wind blows them.
These are absolutely fantastic. This is the kind of stuff I love to see. I wish more people could see these.
This video felt so much longer than 4 and a half minutes. Truely mesmerizing.
How has it taken me 9 years to see this masterpiece? This feels like the opening montage to a sci-fi epic
X2
I know. It's wild. Imagine a pack of these at burning man
GONK
@@JarJarStudiosPlus Hey, I'm subscribed!
It's still going
These are very calming creatures with a Da Vinci-esque style of combining art and technology. It is great to see how this artist make use of natural forces that directly power machines that go beyond imagination.
Beyond imagination?
One day there may be ones that’ll go beyond the beach to a desert or a city or a town, who knows?
HUMMA KAVULA!!! 🤣
"Creatures" lol
da winky
Just read about these in an SAT Test and was absolutely intrigued. And their just as interesting seeing them!
I think he's from another planet , lol I can't fathom how much math and thought went into this beautiful creature
The artistic engineer behind this, ie Theo jansen, is still working on strandbeest, he has been on this for more than 10 years.
If you are reading this, you have created something so magical, one can only dream about such things with a lil realistic touch. But you have given 100% realistic touch to something that seems so otherworldly. So beautiful.
I cant understand the last part of what you Said..

halburd1 Gotta Protect your ignorance
I'm glad I read your comment cause I was wondering if it was the wind doing this
The yearly migration of these creatures is truly a sight to behold
The simple execution of something like locomotion looks so very graceful!
A symphony of natural rhythm that will always show how precious creative minds really are! Ty!
Finally some art that I've LITERALLY never seen anything like. This is incredible.
Evillincoln I've seen things like this before
Ruby Rodriguez strandbeest is old, but this guy invented them in 1990
The idiot said: pretty sure DaVinci is responsible for these, pal
The reinforced one is just terrifying
Dead or alive ed 209 style
Indeed; it looks a bit like an army vehicle from a science fiction movie.
It's beautiful
It would be an amazing sci-fi tank
It looks like an AT-HH from Star Wars
This feels like watching an entire life cycle of these complete with laying eggs, mating and even dying. With this music it really feels like having witnessed them across generations.
Quelle poésie,vos créatures me ravissent !
À votre exposition à Bordeaux, grosse déception, elles étaient toutes arrimées , immobiles...
Heureusement les images sont là, le vent les animent et rend hommage à votre travail... Merci à lui
Merci à vous 🙏💐🖐️ Monsieur Jansen
God just imagine going onto a post-apocalyptic world, you find the beach to the sea... and all of a sudden, the Strandbeests are walking towards you.
I was thinking that too. Not that they are scary but that the whole video seems kind of lonely. A cross between a Miyazaki film like Castles in the Sky and Vincent Price in Edward Scissorshands. Only one man, his long gray hair flying in the wind as he works on his creations. I am sure the choice of music had a lot to do with that ambiance.
Yes, definitely strandbeests patrolling and guarding a lonely beach. THAT would be pretty freaking epic when you make it to the least shore, and find that the beach is guarded by a guy and his army of strandbeests.
Terestrasz It's fucking sad, bizarre and horrifying
wread42 It feels like a dead animal beign "reanimated" bizarrely and beign forced to walk
+alamada: That would also be the point, too.
It's sad, because their creator is no longer alive, and the beach is empty.
Bizarre, because of how they look.
And horrifying.... because of how weird their movements are and just how alien they seem. I imagine the group of travelers who find the Strandbeests walking towards them would be thinking "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS THING?!?"
In all seriousness though this is astonishing, it's so brilliantly creative that I'm not even sure how to properly describe how I feel. This man is a genius, and I really hope he does manage to make actual herds of these fantastic creatures.
Some of them can even avoid water and anchor themselves in during a storm. Incredible work
Love them all but the big cardboard box looking one is stunningly beautiful! Huge morphing geometric shapes. Amazing mind and work!
That big one with cloth around the frame looked genuinely unnerving silently advancing along on its own power, in an awe inspiring sort of way. A good creepy, one could say.
Its like straight from Hayao Miyazaki movies.
Yoo Mr Slav didn't expect you here! Crazy that this didn't have any likes or replies.
Yeah
Now make them rideable!
- I was thinking they were some leftover props from an old Terry Gilliam movie.
@@realrunningdog_5812 logic dictates that in order for one of those machines to be rideable, they would have to be built out of metal, and have bigger wind capturing methods.
I don't think it'd be a problem for them to drag a small trailer though.
A Weapon to Surpass Metal Gear
imagine actual fucking straandbeest tanks
Strandbeests, son.
XD
Guranga93 I WAS THINKING THAT THE ENTIRE TIME!!!
Metal Gear could actually happen, Darpa, Armstech and other companies mentioned in the Metal Gear series are real life companies! but Yeah Metal Gear, Ghost In The Shell, Terminator, Robocop & even Blade Runner, might become a reality one day!
The coolest, most amazing thing I've ever watched on RUclips. I felt like I was in a dream the entire time watching these strange beast come to life.
I will never tire of watching this magical movement! Absolutely amazing!
I have a couple of the small Strandbeest models at home, and my cat never knows what to make of them, especially when there is enough of a breeze to get them moving across the floor.
But seeing them on the beach, I cannot help but feel that they give off an organic impression as they move.
Definitely some of my favourite artistic creations!
Do they work as the bigger ones?
@@ivanmosca301 Yes. Because they are a lot smaller and lighter, they do not need as much wind to move with.
When first looking at the kit to assemble them, I was expecting them to be static models because the joints are so much smaller and look quite delicate, but they actually work very well.
@@Stolpskott100 are they alive creatures...... I see them ist time
@@user-lq8bx1hd3z what?
@@Jam_66 i think he had a stroke and died
The music combined with the actual things themselves makes this video strangely beautiful, it makes it seem as if we just invented a new form of life.

@@takamjob8385 it's a human thing to say "we made it" when someone else did.
Absolutely crazy and beautiful. Inspiring on so many levels. Thank you Theo.
Theo, this puts us lazy people to shame. A man making art like this shamse the world of haters and war. Love and blessings to you.
These really feel like something out of a studio ghibli movie... Like they're alive and just waiting to befriend some innocent, wide eyed main character in their journey of self discovery.
You mean Totoro?
They've got that fishbone structure
This is a phenomenal display of art using mechanism engineering. Theo's latest book "Strandbeesten: the New Generation" is a good read about this engineering-based art.
Thank you for the video and great music.
i really love these so much, they are such an interesting mixture of elegant, adorable and goofy and such incredible beautiful pieces of intricacy
I don't really consider myself an art appreciator but stuff like this really is on another level of interesting
Yup. So much better than a pig heart being eaten by flies. Which is considered art these days .

Hopefully these machines will never turn evil and kill their creator.
If they do kill their creator, it will be without any trace of malice, but an act of _pure innocence._ Or... PVCnocence.
If they do turn bad, just stand upwind of them.

Someone could make that thing into a reality at this point
Thank god I wasn't the only one to think that
eyyo, i thinking the same thing
That large of an object could not be supported very well
they could, be the resources and the time needed to do it means it almost certainly will never happen. Sadly, if it ever happens its probably going to be because it has military applications. Unless society changes so dramatically that its unrecognizable, we will never build things that inspire that sense of awe. Its not where our macro values lay
These remind me more so of Junji Ito's Gyo. No one should turn any of Gyo into reality.
Though this seems harmless enough.
Wow, what a super eccentric hobby. Love it!
You're insane doctor!! You'll never get away with this!!
I've watched these over and over and over and they freak me out completely because they are so alive and foreign, unlike anything I have ever seen I'm completely mesmerized by these moving sculptures. Magnificent. I'd like to be inside Theo Jansen's mind.
With so many legs, they remind me of millipedes
People said the same thing about planes in the 1900’s.
They're like living things almost that feed on wind.

It's glorious, the strandbeest is a magnificent piece of art.
I saw some of these at my local museum and I was amazed by such incredible mix of both engineering and art. Wish I could've been able to see them move
3:44 There needs to be something mechanical pulling the strandbeest so that you can sit in/on the strandbeest while having the strandbeest walking. It would be like a carriage.
