Description

Strandbeest Evolution provides an update on the evolutionary development. Every spring I go to the beach with a new beast. During the summer I do all kinds of experiments with the wind, sand and water. In the fall I grew a bit wiser about how these beasts can survive the circumstances on the beach. At that point I declare them extinct and they go to the bone yard.

  • Nicki Added amazing! I've watched and watched again and forwarded it on. Thanks.
  • Jane Hardin USA Added WOW! And all I do is sit in front of my computer looking at your wonders! You throw your wonder in the boneyard at the end of each season rather than sharing it with a museum or a children's museum? Please don't waste them! They are wonderful..
  • Rama Added Ingenious achievement at the boundaries of science and art !
  • Diane Weber Added Thank you heartily for this lovely, uplifting video. What joy you bring to others with your magnificent creations. I will be sharing this with many others who will also smile and laugh when they see your exquisite "creatures."
  • H. Clay Alexander Added We all go extinct . . . some to a bone yard, but others like me, to an ocean where all life began.
  • Eric Added In the beginning there was a wind...then an idea in the mind Theo formed chaos into life.
  • Jean Added Astonishing! The beaches are amazing too, where are they?
  • Dolores Added some of my favorite music! from an old tv series about the sea. Can't remember the name of the show or the music. Invention is incredible.
  • Stephen Young Added One of the best if not the best creative expression of genius I have ever viewed! Keep up the amazing creations!
  • joan Added It's a mixture of creepy and truly amazing !
  • Carol Segal Added This is difficult to believe what I saw.
  • elouise Added this is just plain weird.
  • Carole Added Amazing! Brilliant man.
  • Patrick Added This man is nothing short of a genius. Incredible.
  • iotus2 Added Every time I see what this man creates, I am in awe of his talent. It is a shame to think they go "extinct" - Theo is a truly creative genius.
  • gene Added Really quite remarkable and they show extreme patience....WOW!!
  • M Leybra Added Imagine 'using' this human ingenuity to help save the oceans from e.g. plastic pollution, oil spills, discarded fish nets, etc. instead of creating more pollution. As a naturalist I also watched the seagulls in this video, rather ignoring this new form of human pollution-intrusion into their natural habitat.
  • Patricia Added They remind me of giant bugs and something out of a science fiction movie. But, very interesting.
  • Karin Gamble Added Incredible! to design and make these fantastic pieces of moving Art - truly a gift!!
  • Yolanda Added Human creativity never ceases to amaze me. Thank you.
