Theo Jansen
Born in the Netherlands, Theo Jansen first studied physics but left to pursue what became a lifelong career in art—especially art explored through technology. Among his early projects, he built a machine that could paint and staged a convincing UFO encounter over Delft. Today, Jansen continues to create strandbeests at his workshop in Ypenburg, near Delft.
