“Beasts of the Beach” impresses in Mazatlan

* Creatures that form art, philosophy and science
* Theo Jansen presents his works created from recycled
Dozens of people gathered in Playa Bonita to see the Dutch show Theo Jansen.


Jansen is a physicist who has become a kinetic artist and sculptor; that in the decade of the 80 began to create algorithmic simulation programs of artificial life, with machines that can work autonomously gathering their three passions: art, philosophy and science.


His beach beasts as he baptized them, are created mainly from recycled materials such as small plastic tubes, joined by adhesive tape, thus creating a system of pieces that move by the wind, which simulate machines that can have movement on their own.


Unfortunately for Mazatlan, the figures could not walk by themselves because the weather conditions were not adequate; Still people enjoyed a unique experience.
