We need some art today

It is fantastic how easily something can come to life, how little we need to give an object a personality, motives and feelings. Though they have a lot in common with spiders, visually, and I don't like spiders, I perceive them as friendly, curious and vulnerable.
"Theo Jansen is a Dutch artist who builds walking kinetic sculptures that he calls a new form of life. His "Strandbeests" walk the coastline of Holland, feeding on wind and fleeing from water."

ja, det är ok att du skriva på svenska. Vad bra att du också kommer från min stad! Vilken del? jag bodde i sverige för att jag var gift med en svensk man, men inte nu. Det är varför jag kom tillbaka till usa i 2008
