Theo Jansen's kenetic sculptures

[Lucky Dawg]

The vague segue to this board is wind and pvc cages to hold up winter tarps...

Vague segue, but worth the peek:

Beautiful, thanks for posting that!

what is it?
a kind of caterpiller or millipede quality
nearly alive!


He'll have one striding on the waves befor long
made of carbon tube and mylar

It'll be called the Maltese Miljoenpoot


Can't you just see a spherical Jansen pipe creature with a thousand boots
escaping from the sandy Holland shore and roaming free on the oceans forevermore?


[FLASH!
JANSEN MILLIPOD FOUND IN THE PACIFIC DOLDRUMS

Observers on a small sailboat say that the creature seems to be feeding on plastic trash floating on the surface in that part of the ocean.
A reporter for the BBC quotes Jansen as saying he doesn't believe the runaway roamer has developed an appetite yet,
but may possibly be looking for plastic parts to repair itself.]
