Theo Jansen-kinetic sculptor

寄件者 Art & Design



Theo Jansen (born March 17, 1948, in The Hague, Netherlands) is a Dutch artist and kinetic sculptor. He builds large works which resemble skeletons of animals and are able to walk using the wind on the beaches of the Netherlands. His animated works are a fusion of art and engineering; in a car company television commercial Jansen says: "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds."

配上爵士樂,搭配那些複雜的機構運作,還真的有種優雅的感覺

這的確是一件很精彩的作品,我在一本雜誌關於"類比與數位Hybird"看到這作品,讓我想到這裡老師提到cybernetics"模控學",關於利用生物觀點來設計機器模式,某種程度這機器或者建築就是混生體,類比部分是自然因子,數位機器藉由自然因子驅動與生長。
