Dutch artist Theo Jansen creates what he calls "strand beasts" or beach beasts. They look like something out of a science fiction movie, move on their own and can harness wind power. Jansen's strand beasts are complex constructions made from simple materials he buys at the do-it-yourself market, like string, ties, and plastic tubes. An exhibition of his strand beasts opens in Paris in February.
