I'm thinking about doing a piece of living sculpture for my project, and I was just cruising the web and I stumbled upon this guy- Theo Jensen. He builds gigantic skeletal structures that are able to walk in the wind. They are called 'strandbeests,' which means "beach animals," and he eventually wants to build enough for a whole herd that will live there on the beach. It's kind of creepy, but really cool. Here's a good article on him: http://www.artfutura.org/02/05jansen_en.html
I'm not sure how to upload videos directly on to here, so check out the video about him on youtube. It's a little dramatic, but he's actually building these crazy strandbeests!
