Behold, Strandbeest

Posted September 18, 2007 8:30 AM by Sharkles

Moving Sculpture; Kinetic creature; Wind-powered walking machine... Theo Jansen's Strandbeest defies description but inspires wonder. This video, and there are many more on the Internet, captures the spirit of a "modern day DaVinci."

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Glass & Ceramics, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Glass, Ceramics, Fibers & Fabrics today.

Very, very impressive, seriously, like world's fair material....

{Expo (also known as World Fair and World's Fair) is the name of various large public exhibitions held since the mid-19th century. The official sanctioning body is the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), translated in English as the International Exhibitions Bureau (though sometimes rendered as the Bureau of International Expositions).}

Now which one of the CR4 subscriber's was that?????
