Theo Jansen, creator of the Strandbeest, will be one of the featured makers at the Twente Mini Maker Faire.
The 2013 Maker Faire season is almost over, but not without a fair from our friends in Twente in the Netherlands. The fair is set for this weekend, Nov. 23-24.
The fair is expected to attract more than 70 makers, including presentations from Theo Jansen, Dave Borghuis on hackerspaces, and Vanessa Evers on the impact of robot technology on daily life.
One of the highlights of the fair will be an appearance by Jansen. Since 1991 Jansen has been working on his strandabeest project Theo makes skeletons that are able to “walk” with the wind. His vision is to create skeletons that can survive exposure to storms and water as they scuttle about on beaches and dunes.
