strandbeest evolution 

Yeah it would cool to see life that worked like this

@@Oblivatrixon So true... we have no idea of what majestic creatures could be roaming other worlds!!

Would be pretty cool honestly Also, glad to see you here :D

Mother Earth has relciamed back her creation. You follow this you will end up where they will be

Not surprised you're here

Exactly. Correct.

It was generated largely by a computer.

***** Yes, but being a programmer i know something like this isn't immensely difficult.

***** I never said i did. Clearly my point is that the creator is not "nothing short of pure genius"

yeah... |)

that is exactly the ART part of it

It is like seeing animals moving but only their bones without a head

The little wind catches at the top can be seen spinning, charging up a flywheel

@@GigaChad-yu4sh That's cool man but ahh why hasn't i seen MORE OF THIS

The plastic bottles appear to be pressure tanks, so I'd guess they are pneumatic.

They use also applicated inertia...

I'd rather not believe it until I see it with my own eyes. People chronically lie on the internet you know

You might be mentally handicapped

I feel the same way

Maybe that's because their movements seems to be very natural, not some sort of robotic locomotion.

Same here! I kept having to remind myself just for a nanosecond that “that’s right,..is NOT a real animal “😂

How do they work?

definitely 😵🤣

HUMMA KAVULA!!! 🤣

"Creatures" lol

da winky

I studied biochem at uni and was especially interested in the evolutionary side of things, so maybe I see these creations in a similar way to you They do look very organic, don't they? And it makes you wonder like... are we/our cells just machines in the same way, mechanically responding to stimuli as a direct result of it being applied, like the movements of these strandbeests under the influence of the wind? I get a similar vibe from watching these strandbeests as when I see videos of bdelloid rotifers eating other microorganisms, with all their lil cillia waving about... But thats a very mechanistic way of looking at it. Whats the ghost in the machine?

@@mainr7142 I sail too and see life as a biological machine, so these hit all my buttons. They remind me of being on a beach as a kid and laying on the sand with a magnification lens watching all the invertebrates, or looking down the microscope at a sample of pond life.

With your vast knowledges, are you able to tell what a “woman” is?

I feel like there needs to be a distinction between the garbage that gets shit out for millions of dollars and stuff like this that’s just real neat and take a lot of skill

@@FlyingAceAV8B Providing what they are choosing to do isn’t having a negative effect on you, why does it matter? If it is personally causing you harms then there is a valid debate about relative rights or harms. There are a very small number of genuine intersex people born. These wonderful creations have nothing to do with gender identity.

I cant understand the last part of what you Said..

it’s pointless

@@MikehMike01 If you think about it objectively, life is pointless. But most of us try to enjoy it while we can.

Thankyou, you motivate me to work harder.

@@trueaussie9230 I want to die

I was thinking that too. Not that they are scary but that the whole video seems kind of lonely. A cross between a Miyazaki film like Castles in the Sky and Vincent Price in Edward Scissorshands. Only one man, his long gray hair flying in the wind as he works on his creations. I am sure the choice of music had a lot to do with that ambiance.

Yes, definitely strandbeests patrolling and guarding a lonely beach. THAT would be pretty freaking epic when you make it to the least shore, and find that the beach is guarded by a guy and his army of strandbeests.

Terestrasz It's fucking sad, bizarre and horrifying

wread42 It feels like a dead animal beign "reanimated" bizarrely and beign forced to walk

+alamada: That would also be the point, too. It's sad, because their creator is no longer alive, and the beach is empty. Bizarre, because of how they look. And horrifying.... because of how weird their movements are and just how alien they seem. I imagine the group of travelers who find the Strandbeests walking towards them would be thinking "OH MY GOD WHAT IS THIS THING?!?"

Do they work as the bigger ones?

@@ivanmosca301 Yes. Because they are a lot smaller and lighter, they do not need as much wind to move with. When first looking at the kit to assemble them, I was expecting them to be static models because the joints are so much smaller and look quite delicate, but they actually work very well.

@@realrunningdog_5812 logic dictates that in order for one of those machines to be rideable, they would have to be built out of metal, and have bigger wind capturing methods. I don't think it'd be a problem for them to drag a small trailer though.

Some of them can even avoid water and anchor themselves in during a storm. Incredible work

That large of an object could not be supported very well

they could, be the resources and the time needed to do it means it almost certainly will never happen. Sadly, if it ever happens its probably going to be because it has military applications. Unless society changes so dramatically that its unrecognizable, we will never build things that inspire that sense of awe. Its not where our macro values lay

These remind me more so of Junji Ito's Gyo. No one should turn any of Gyo into reality. Though this seems harmless enough.

Thank you so much!! I've been trying for ages to put a name to some of Beksinski's work!

Didn't know they were by the same artist! Again, thank you!!

Oh gosh you're right lol

@@NinjaWieldingLimes you’re welcome! One of my all time favorite painters. I’ve studied his stuff for quite some time.

Such a tortured but brilliant soul

They don't "eat air" and cannot be programmed. Its just a collection of linkages that are moved by air pressure. It's that simple. Having said that...coming up with design for those linkage systems requires a genius!

Alien I know they don't really eat air as "eating" but they still fill bottles (stocking energy) and redestribute it as movement which is really the same as digesting food. A car "eats and digest" gas. It's very primitive though. As for programming, well you could theorically mechanically program them to orient themselves in the optimal position to catch wind.

+Hervé De Rinel Sort of makes you question what makes us so different. There are ways to make kinetic computers with gears and pulleys and no electricity, and there is currently a college group testing one that was designed (I believe) in the nineteenth century. theoretically, you could make a wooden mind and put it in a wooden body. of coarse, that's provided you have enough open flat space.

You are referring to The Difference Engine designed by Charles Babbage in the early 1800's. If he had stopped trying to perfect the design and had let his technicians tinker with the mechanism so that all the moving parts worked correctly, we would have had entirely-mechanical computers in the 1830's. They would have been enormous compared to electronic computers, but they would have worked.

We aren't so very different. Von Neumann machines replicate themselves from available material, take in energy and display activity. Von Neumann modeled the idea for these machines on biological organisms. We are biological, carbon based Von Neumann machines. A very early episode of Dr Who proposed the idea of a metal based organism which used magnetism to store and use energy, a metallic, magnetodynamic Von Neumann machine if you like.

With so many legs, they remind me of millipedes

People said the same thing about planes in the 1900’s.

Some of his strandbeest can indeed store energy. The sails drive an air pump and the air gets compressed in pet bottles. Then it starts moving, even when there´s no wind, or it walks AGAINST the wind. Nifty isn´t it?

yup
