Strandbeest

So good to find a website or idea that you've thought you'd never see again. I saw this wild conceptual art/kinetic sculpture/ mechanical engineering marvel a few years back, but couldn't remember where. It's more abstract than biomimicry and much more human than machine art. But I couldn''t remember the dutch word for it. Until today, where a link to link to a link paid off.
