If you have a pretty good broadband connection, you might enjoy watching Strandbeest in action. If not, just go look at the photos of these strange plastic creatures that come to life in the wind on the beach.
Here is the squib from the site:
Since about ten years Theo Jansen is occupied with the making of a new nature. Not pollen or seeds but plastic yellow tubes are used as the basic matierial of this new nature.
