Theo Jansen
Strandbeest creatures creep and run across sandy beaches propelled by ocean winds. Geometric skeletons of sea creatures move quickly in unison across the sand, energized by the wind captured in their wings. Lifelike skeletons made of plastic tubes play in the elements of nature, unaware of the confused humans watching them.
Jansen compares the beasts to evolutionary process. He says he hates the wind but it gives energy for the beast installations. The creatures do not seem to have individual names. They're only called "beest."
