Theo Jansen: The art of creating creatures

He makes skeletons that are able to walk on the wind, so they don’t have to eat. Over time, these skeletons have become increasingly better at surviving the elements such as storms and water and eventually he wants to put these animals out in herds on the beaches, so they will live their own lives. Absolute genius.
