For the past fifteen years, Dutch artist and inventor, Theo Jansen, has been making kinetic sculptures that look like a cross between something in one of Da Vinci's notebooks and one of the more complex virtual creatures of Karl Sims. Jansen uses genetic algorithms to evolve complex walking creatures that he then builds out of PVC conduit, cable ties, and tape. They are then left to walk along the beach, powered by the wind.
