Theo Jansen is a Dutch sculptor who creates moving wind powered sculptures. They are built from cheap material like plastic bottles and cardboard tubes, but they move in a fluid, disturbingly lifelike way.
They are designed to survive on their own, walking the beaches of the Netherlands like lone skeletons. His plan is to make herds of similar kinetic sculptures and let them live out their own lives, going where the wind takes them.
I think they should bring them to Mars and let them walk around there. Plenty of wind and maybe generations from now, people will have forgotten Theo Jansen and think they're aliens.
woahhhh
