Nothing directly inspirational nor motivational about this. It’s just fun. Enjoy.
Man Creates Kinetic Sculpture That Moves and Lives on its Own
OK, I’ll admit, when I first saw the first video below, I thought it was cool. However, I did not consider it to be “alive.” However, after you watch the second video, I think you might – like me – consider these sculptures to actually be alive. They have survival mechanisms and simple brains. Either way, these two videos will fascinate you. Enjoy
Video #1 is a short video from the BBC about the creatures created by Theo Jansen.
– Watch more Videos at Vodpod.
The second video is a TED video where Mr. Jansen explains how the creatures can adapt, survive, and even think.

TED Video: Using Art to Turn the World Inside Out
Who says small changes can’t make a big difference?
This is an amazing concept. JR, a French street artist, uses his camera to show the world its true face – in the most literal sense. He makes his audacious TED Prize wish: to use art to turn the world inside out. A funny, moving talk about art and who we are.
Note: This video takes a very long time to load. Also, once it does, there will be a spinning circle that will stay on the screen for awhile. It will eventually vanish. It’s also easier to watch it if you blow it up to full size. All that said, it’s definitely worth the effort to watch it.
