Many people have heard of or seen videos of artist Theo Jansen's work: giant walking sculptures that are powered by the wind. At least one person is now taking the principles Theo developed and implementing them on a smaller scale:
This little horse automaton is made out of paper! I am very excited to make one of my own sometime soon...kits are available if you want to order one and make it yourself!

When I first saw this horse by James Watt based on Theo's genius mechanism, I was floored! What I love most about it is its naturalistic movement. It seems to move as a real horse would.
I envision this design made on an out-sized scale, like a large outdoor sculpture on museum grounds somewhere, solar-powered. I feel it would be the dawn of a new revolution in art.
I've got a kit! (unopened, waiting for an idle moment... not that kind!)
