Saved from my own gloomy old business and evil mind chatter by the wonder of invention. Bless all the dreamers. xo

Wow, what remarkable creativity. I would think that these concepts would have implications for planetary exploration, using the energy of the winds to move. Remarkable.
It is amazing how images of creativity and innovation can change our moods in an instant.
This made me think of ancient and recent automatons. Search Youtube, there are even some made out of PAPER. :) Hex bugs are fun to watch too.
Robert - I was stunned by the video...how have we not seen this everywhere? Oh, that's right. It's art or something for which much of the world seems to have no words. There do appear to be great possibilities.
Antares Cryptos - Having grown up visiting La Brea Tar Pits, it made me think of the skeletons there coming to life. I can see the automaton connection. And it did change my mood and my outlook in an instant. I can't thing of anything that would have been more effective.
Marylinn, I have a nice collection of truly amazing videos on creativity, which I will share.
The segregation of the Arts and Sciences? Not on my blog. :)
February is a busy month, but numerous posts are percolating in draft form...
clearly,
he is driven to create them,
a life's work, sort of.
beautiful to watch and slightly scary too.
What a god of a man!
Antares Cryptos - Since there is science connected to all aspects of existence, I don't know how it could be segregated, though I know that is the treatment it sometimes receives. This video's brevity was part of what caused me to watch it, then the content overtook me. Looking forward to your posts.
Denise - They amazed me and yes, they do have a life of their own. It is unsettling to see creation on this level.
Kass - There are creators who seem to rise above, aren't there? He is certainly one of them.
What a keen understanding of motion and mobility in the face of the beach winds and the sand. And the clue came from a creature found nearby. Recreation led him to new insights. Thanks for this post.
KleinsteMotte - You are welcome. Once I saw this amazing work, I knew others would also be captured by such a combination of, would it be engineering? and pure fantasy.
Where would we be without dreams, Marylinn? Our own, and others. What a visionary this man is. The mind and the imagination boggle and salute. Thanks for taking us to his beach. Love, Claire xo
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARYLINN!
Wishing you good health, good thoughts and boundless creativity.
May your pencils stay sharp, your watercolors ready and your paper invite new friends ;)
Best.
Claire - I so happy that we've all be able to meet the remarkable man and run along the sand in the wake of his creations. Dreamers and our/their dreams. xo
Antares Cryptos - Thank you so much. What fine wishes to fill the days and the imagination.
Most marvelous . . . thank you for sharing this!
Karen - You are so welcome. I thought it was extraordinary.
