The beach-walking sculptures of Theo Jansen have been stalking beaches since 1990. They have evolved over time, getting larger, more complex, and now, they run in herds. Here’s more from COLOSSAL:
Throughout the summer, Jansen experimented with connecting several units together, which could work in succession. “Animaris Rex is a herd of beach animals whose specimens hold each other as defense against storms,” he says. “As individuals they would simply blow over, but as a group, the chance of surviving a storm would be greater.” Propelled by the wind with a series of large sails, the individual modules move in tandem to form a single entity.
