Theo Jansen's Strandbeest Evolution 2017 shows his wind-powered walking sculptures, built from plastic tubing, walking along the beach. The video follows how his creatures have developed over the years.

HN people share it as an incredible example of engineering as art, and keep it on hand as one of several Strandbeest videos worth exploring.
