Video 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.

    amazing! I've watched and watched again and forwarded it on. Thanks.

  • Jane Hardin USA

    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

    Ingenious achievement at the boundaries of science and art !

  • Diane Weber

    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."

    We all go extinct . . . some to a bone yard, but others like me, to an ocean where all life began.

  • Eric

    In the beginning there was a wind...then an idea in the mind Theo formed chaos into life.

  • Jean

    Astonishing! The beaches are amazing too, where are they?

  • Dolores

    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

    One of the best if not the best creative expression of genius I have ever viewed! Keep up the amazing creations!

  • joan

    It's a mixture of creepy and truly amazing !

  • Carol Segal

    This is difficult to believe what I saw.

  • elouise

    this is just plain weird.

  • Carole

    Amazing! Brilliant man.

  • Patrick

    This man is nothing short of a genius. Incredible.

  • iotus2

    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

    Really quite remarkable and they show extreme patience....WOW!!

  • M Leybra

    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

    They remind me of giant bugs and something out of a science fiction movie. But, very interesting.

  • Karin Gamble

    Incredible! to design and make these fantastic pieces of moving Art - truly a gift!!

  • Yolanda

    Human creativity never ceases to amaze me. Thank you.
