这是我们家姐姐,最喜欢的一个荷兰工程艺术家,被誉为当代达芬奇的,Theo Jansen的作品。它不仅仅是动漫,而是一种非生命机械实物的全新的创作。所谓的巧夺天工,和传说中古时候诸葛武侯的木牛流马,不过如此。到油管里面去看,视角效果会更加震撼:For more than 20 years, Dutch artist Theo Jansen has been building
beautifully elaborate beach-walking sculptures that are completely
powered by the wind. Each sculpture is made with wing-like sails and an
intricate web of PVC pipe bodies and legs that walk with incredibly
lifelike movements when they come in contact with the wind.
Jansen calls the beach walkers Strandbeests, Dutch for “Beach Beast”.
The creatures have evolved since 1990, with some of his later models
able to store air to use in the absence of wind. They are able to
survive the elements and effectively wander the beaches in most weather
conditions. Jansen’s goal is to be able to put herds of the moving
sculptures on the beaches to “live their own lives”, and to create
models that will throw sand onto sand dunes to help preserve them.
Since 1990 I have been occupied creating new forms of life. Not pollen
or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic material of this
new nature. I make skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so
they don’t have to eat.
I put forward the idea that there may be skeletons on the beach, which
were driven by the wind, and they gathered sand to create the dunes,
said Jansen, which will protect coastal towns from flooding from the
North Sea.
