Theo Jansen calls himself a 'kinetic sculptor'. He has a background in science and engineering and has for many years been developing wind reliant technology, creating creatures that will eventually be able to exist in the natural beach environment. They have the ability to store the wind generated power to walk as well as being able to sense water and movement around them. I thought this was an interesting cross over between nature and technology and in many ways art.
