Theo Jansen is from the Netherlands. He is a kinetic sculptor. With the help of engineering, he creates a type of moving body that is called the Anamari. It is made up of a bunch of tubes and plastic that give the body a different type of movement. Depending on the wind the "animals" move around and walk along the beaches.
He is very dedicated to his work. He refers to them as animals and gives them all names. He is very passionate. I find his work very interesting. I thinks it's crazy how someone can become so passionate about something like this. However it is not only a science, it is an art. The things that he creates and works with are very complicated. The structures are very difficult. The complexity of his work is what in my opinion makes the things he does art.
I believe the purpose of art is for expression and to release emotion. Art is a way to let go of feelings and emotions that you have bottled up or don't want to bottle up. Or art is a way of showing off things you may believe in or the way you feel about things. In general art is just a way of expression
