Theo Jansen
Jansen was born in 1948, in
Scheveningen in the
Netherlands. He studied
physics at the Delft
University of Technology
and was involved in many
projects that involved both
art and technology. He has
been creating a series of
kinetic art, Strandbeests,
since 1990. Today, Jansen
is one of the internationally
recognized artists.

This kit was designed after "Animaris Rhinoceros Transport". It is the largest
Strandbeest in history with 6m in length, 5m in width, 4.7 m in height, and 3.2 t
in weight. The beest walks by the wind caught in the wing like panel attached
at the top. How did this beest come about? We are going to search the
secret of its birth.
