Dutch artist Theo Jansen (b. 1948, The Hague) has achieved
worldwide recognition for his imposing and ingenious strandbeests,
which are much more than art objects. They actually try to create
dunes themselves. Taking his inspiration from the theory of
evolution, Jansen has taught his strandbeests to float on the sea
breeze and to walk independently along the beach. Using PVC tubing,
adhesive tape and PET bottles, he has brought a completely new life
form into existence. In so doing, he seeks insight into the origins
of life itself. His ultimate aim is to have herds of his creations
roam the beach all on their own. 'Give me another couple of million
years, and my strandbeests will live completely independently.'
Text in English and Dutch.
