They've built real-life Soda Constructors

Its like something out of a Hayao Miyazaki movie.
more can be found at www.strandbeest.com

Wow, that's really quite amazing! 8)

Now that's art! All credit to Theo Jansen because this is truly great and beautiful in the absolutely highest league. It inspires the viewer on many different planes! All honor and credit!

Nice innovation. But what has BMW has to do with those? :)

p.s: as if bmw produces eco-friendly car :P

I recently found a very interesting website:
http://alreadylinked.com/
There you can purchase ad space for your Blog etc.

every bmw car is eco-friendlier than your usual american car ;)

Who cares? I'm going to burn 12 gallons of gas for every one gallon you save. If I could afford a BMW, I'd have one, and drive as fast as I can. I'm going to eat big, meaty, American cheeseburgers and drive a big diesel truck and use penguins for leather in my car, and use big baby seal eyes for a compass on my dash. PS> This wind stuff is cool, and tree huggers are gay.

Hey rawr, firstly what are you going to breathe when all the trees are gone? You'll be wishing there had been a few more tree-huggers! And try to come up with something more original, rather than pinching Dennis Leary's rant.

People, don't be so unkind to rawr. He *needs* a huge American truck to haul that big fat cheeseburger-laden ass of his. And as soon as he can fit his ass through the back door of his momma's basement, he's gonna get one for his very own self.

请问能承重多少?

Where imagination and innovation come together with remarkable synergy...a true testament to human ingenuity

Magnificent. However, the audio ending was interesting in that it contained a phrase about art and engineering. BMW certainly knows engineering, but I'm afraid that their association with art has decayed. After all, "to Bangle" is now a verb indicating the insertion of serious ugliness.

Creativity is priceless!

I made a post about this on my blog some weeks ago:
http://www.oskarlewis.com/weblog/archives/1390

Пацталом, зашибись, штука клевая, каменты на русском руляд ! It's interesting, and I want to see it

Превед китайцам!!!! ;D

3a40тная конструкция. Креатив засчитан. Китайцы посмешили вопросом, не наш0лся что им ответить.

Tout simplement incroyable!

机械与自然的交流！

That is amazing!!What people can do if they put they minds in to it!!

That is simply amzing!!What people can do if they have a vision and they put theyr mind to it

The study in locomotion is interesting. So, when does it pay off with massive wind powered wheat harvesters that trample the open plains, or a long legged variety to slog through rice paddies. I am sure that under the surface BMW is just as greedy, avaricious, and polution prone as any other Detroit megabuck harvester.

What are any of you doing about it? Good for the artist for creating something magnificent. Good for BMW for being creative. Of course, BMW is a compnay of greedy, polluting sons of bitches. What is anybody doing about it? The only thing I've heard is from that guy whose bent on being destructive. No more bashing of each other. Save the bashing for Paris HIlton. I, myself, take the bus and ride my bicycle. I appreciate ads as art. There is beauty is the world. There are people out to exploit it also.

What amazing beautiful creations. Check out the Burning Man festival in August. I think you'd find it fascinating. It would be awesome to have one of your creations on the playa. http://burningman.com/

nie zły pokaz , podoba mi się jestem z polski ale ta strona jest super, pozdrawiam :P ;)

Super pokaz ;)

That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen! I wonder if this guy could adapt the new Roboreptile into something like this. Check out Robo's website at www.myroboreptile.com

There used to be a cool video of that contraption at the petroleum club.

I don't know why I don't see more posts that are simply awestruck by the beauty of this man's work. It is absolutely gorgeous to its essence. Ok, it is a bit gruesome that BMW is using it as an ad compaign, but we all have to eat, even artists. Let's just get off the soapbox for a sec and just appreciate the genius and beauty of this man's creations.

I don't really get how the term "tree hugger" can even be that derogatory. It is a lot less silly to hug a tree than hug one's denial that humanity is slowly killing itself by its own excesses. If you think the "eco-nazis" are trying to make you limit your steak and sports car intake now, wait 30 years when you can't even get those things as humanity will be mainly concerned about surviving a massive climate change.

You pretty much summed up why "tree hugger" is derogatory. It mostly describes a fringe element with leftist minded thinking, not to mention the 60's socialist retreads who have a very narrow and dim view of humanity as a whole. They envision the future as stark and depressing, and most of mankind living in some post nuclear ghetto while Global corporations control everything from power generation to food. It is the atypical thinking in our culture and it is reflected in 90% of Hollywood sci fi as it depicts this kind of future. I'll take Gene Roddenberrys vision of the future any day. There was a visionary and a genius ahead of his time. And it is the optimists like him that usually lead not the mediocrity.

it won't hurt anyone hugging a tree for real. humans won't let the future go all sour, there is already a move back towards diversity and the beauty of culture, so rather than bashing each other... you get the idea. check out 'tesla motors' on the net, so even if we cant have cool wind-driven transport, at least we can have some quick and beautiful electric transport. shame on BMW for jumping on Theo Jansen's back. i don't mind Bangle's style, just a pity he get's to try out his new ideas on something as expensive as a car.

What is that ???8)WOW really cool ;D Very unique invention indeed.
Please visit my BLOG and leave a comment
http://amazingindiaexperience.info

this is cool

sem palavras. um trabalho incrivel, de uma engenhosidade impar. o mais bonito é ver toda esta engenhosidade de forma limpa, aparentemente feita com poucos materiais e muita matematica.
unico!!

As someone who owned a BMW dealership and developed an interest in design myself, I simply must say...

Where does someone come up with this???? ...and Why????

Picture the dude at home... he's at the kitchen table, just after a fat plate of schnitzel, doodling on a napkin, thinking WHAT??? "I'll put this little tube here, and a weird wheel here, some oddly useless plastic wings, and it'll flap real funny like, then kick and stomp real weird on 400 little hollow legs when the wind blows..."

What was he smokin'...

I wonder what the neighbors say about him when he isn't there? I wonder, can I hear them laughing clear to Mexico? I'll listen through the 43 meter tall wax paper and drinking straw wind machine that I invented to enhance sound. I'll just put my ear to it and listen. Strange, but every time I do that... I'm sure I hear some people snickering.

I'm absolutely flattered that there is art such as wind and human companionship. Actually the influence the spirit of the wind has on you as a child and to finally give birth to such an incredible, mechanical expression of the pure combination of technology. The abilities of the human imagination unravel itself to become the pure hope for the use of what is fully animate, not drilled. Selling your image and idea is purely a smart way to fund further introspection into the kinetic spirit. Who cares what we think!?

good for in the age of non-gas..... ;D hmm...wait...is BMW ready to produce non-gas car ?

It remind me the robot looks like the robots in star war... only it made by wood... easier to destroy ! :D

When can i buy it ? i want one !

This is a definition of art. Go Theo!

I just wondering how many days spent to build it ?

very cleaver idea. I wonder if such an idea like this might be useful on mars say, with a sat dish transmitting terrain data or something!!!

it is really amazing...I just thinking...being a aluminium fabricator, can I also make one like this ;D

Designing always is not an easy job ;)

one word : Amazing !

Well, I think if I use flowers can also do the same...haha..

Is it real or just computer CGI ?

Alien invasion ? ;D

hope i can have one... ;D

how long to take to make it ? is it for sell ?

Visiting

yes, if I see this in forest .... I will run away immediately. :D

is it real or computer CG ? any newspaper report on it ? :o

I had the chance to see a "dead" one of these at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art (MassMOCA. They are amazing. The guy who built them hopes to create a whole bunch and set them free on the beaches.

any clue or adhesive to connect it ?

is this put in youtube ? any one watch it live before ?

hmm.. is it a real one ?

Any recipes to do that ? ;D

If you think the "eco-nazis" are trying to make you limit your steak and sports car intake now, wait 30 years when you can't even get those things as humanity will be mainly concerned about surviving a massive climate change.

John Cook clearly has no understanding on the idea of art.
When I first saw this Theo guy on TV a few years ago, I was blown away but just how amazing this is. I went and saw his website, and was even more amazed.
The guy is brilliant. Plus, I like his style. His workshop is located on a hill between two hi-ways. It's like this random workshop in the middle of nowhere (well, in the middle of two hi-ways.) What a legend.
This is truly something of an art, and shows a mind of complete brilliance. I love his vision as well. These things live at the beach nearby, and almost live their own lives, reacting to the wind (and finding shelter when a storm comes.) No electricity, nothing, just pure physics, mechanics and brilliance.
Some of the comments here make me upset when it comes to the absolute narrow-mindedness of consumer types, who probably know nothing of 'beauty.' Must be a pretty shallow and purposeless existance.

what is the purpose on designing this ? i think it can only be used for environmental friendly purpose ?

It's a good invention.

Beautiful! What are these made of? With creations like this, I’m sure Jansen’s hope will come true in the soonest possible.

It looks good and everything, but I wouldn't want it falling on my house...think about it, what must go up must come down!

It's called wind architecture I think and it will also be used in buildings. It transforms the kinetic energy from the wind to motion. It could be the answer to a lot of alternative energy issues.
