Reflective Questions
What attracted you to this piece of interactive art in
the first place? (4%)
- What attracted me the most from this art is that the way the creature moves without electricity or from human force. Usually people use solar energy to move object, but this time Theo Jansen uses wind to move his creature and it's unbelievable.How did you feel when you first saw this interactive
art? (4%)
- The first time I saw the video about Theo Jansen and his creation, I was amazed by it. Seeing how he can create something so simple yet so unique. The possibility to move objects without electricity only using nature. Theo Jansen is like the next Leonardo Da Vinci.
What element/s made this interactive art successful
in engaging you? (4%)
- The elements that successful in engaging me is that the structure or the design of the creature (Strandbeest), the structure is so complex and confusing. I made a research about the Strandbeest design and I still cannot understand it. How can Theo Jansen came out with the idea to move an object with wind. He created something that looks like a robot animal but without technology or electricity.
What was the ‘wow’ factor for you? (4%)
- The 'wow' factor is how the Strandbeest can move by it self using only wind. It really shows that it can move by it self and looks like if it were really a living creature.
If there is one thing that you want to add to this
interactive artwork, what would it be? (4%)
- I would add a chair to seat on the Strandbeest so that we can travel by it someday and not relying on cars and petrols. But Strandbeest also depends on strong wind so it depends on the area to where we travel. No wind means no go.
