Stupefacente la leggerezza,lo studio meccanico del movimento affatto usuale,goffo e commovente,l'immagine della sua bestiola cosi rozza (all'apparenza), la semplicità ingegnosa di un meccanismo complesso ci lascia pieni di stupore e ammirazione.
E insomma lui e ancora lui un degno erede dello spirito di Leonardo da Vinci."
The Animaris Rhinoceros Transport is a type of animal with a steel skeleton and a polyester skin. It looks as if there is a thick layer of sand coating the animal. It weighes 2 tons and it stands 4.70 meters tall. Because of its height it catches enough wind to start moving.
The Animaris Rhinoceros Transport is a direct descendant of the Animari or Beach Animals.
Theo Jansen (1948) studied physics at the University of Delft (The Netherlands) He left University to become an artist. He has been working on creating a new life-form. Beach Animals. These creatures consist of walking skeletons. They are wind powered. Over the years an evolution has occurred, which can be seen in the succeeding generations. Eventually he wants to put these animals on the beach where they will lead their own lives.
