Kinetic Artist Theo Jansen’s Talk at TED

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts on October 23, 2007 at 1:43 am


We’ve featured Dutch artist Theo Jansen’s amazing kinetic sculptures a few times before, but they’re so cool that we’d just have to showcase them again.

This time, it’s a truly fantastic clip of Theo Jansen showing his creations at the 2007 TED conference. He even told us the secret in making the sculptures walk (it’s in the tubes!) and think (with a rudimentary binary counter).

Not to be missed: Link [Flash video] - Thanks Paola from Italy!

    I absolutely don’t see how these animals ‘work’ but i think it’s amazing!

    These are incredible, they really seem alive - it’s all in the movement of the knees…
