Amazing kinetic engineering

Posted by DavidM in Interesting stuff | 6 May 2008

It may be an advert for BMW (why is the car pushing in unneccessarily always a BMW?) but it does include some amazing kinetic sculpture by Theo Jansen.

The strapline from Jansen is "The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds." He's certainly broken his walls down.

You can see more of his work in the video below, from his lecture at TED (also sponsored by BMW).
