Since about ten years Theo Jansen is occupied with the making of a new nature. Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic matierial of this new nature. He makes skeletons which are able to walk on the wind. Eventually he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives.

  • the music and the film are awesome! this guy is a pretty great engineer, but i agree with ChristinaSchneider, he does have a god complex

  • Love the film, not so wild about the music.

  • this is crazy i orderd a small one its cool

  • I had to stop-the music.

  • How could the creature "across" the bat in the way?

  • that song was epic. this video made my mom and i crack up...now searching for the band.

  • so whimsical, so fantastic, it pushes on the boundaries of reality

  • The man is a genius, the mechanics are very clever. Nice video clip and the music is good too. Well done!

  • It is wind powered, and uses NO electricity. It has no brain, yet it has a mind of its own. It lives without human help and depends on its surroundings for its resources and energy. They also travel in herds on the beach, and can communicate and interact with one another. Many people have seen these amazing creatures walking on beach-sides.
