Witness the birth of the newest artificial life form, the strandbeest!

In May 2011, the strandbeest,
Animaris Gubernare, first
appeared at the
Scheveningen coast in the
Netherlands. With a body
length of over 10m, this is
one of the largest
strandbeests. As usual, the
beest is made from various
plastic materials: yellow
tubes are used for the
skeletal structures and
nervous system, PET bottles
for the stomach, and vinyl
sheets for the wings. Will
the master of kinetic art,
Theo Jansen succeed in this
test walk?
