September 24, 2011 a project of CharityFocus The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds. - Theo Jansen - Wind Powered Art Beautiful art can inspire a person to see life in a totally new way. Theo Jansen is the Dutch creator of what he calls "Kinetic Sculptures," where nature and technology meet. Essentially these sculptures are robots powered only by the wind.
