Posted at artificial.dk, this interview with Theo Jansen discusses, among other things, his wind powered animals or beach animals which he has been actively working on for the last 15 years.

from the interview:

After so many years, are you in control of the beach animals or are they really controlling you?

They have always controlled me. I obeyed their laws. Only recently they do what I want.

  2. Crystal,

    I found some more links about Theo Jansen, on the Ars Electronica 2005 site there is page about the artist. He was also awarded a Special Prize of the Jury by that same festival.
