That is one very clever guy - but how much build time must go into those things.
& everyone I know things I'M nuts
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

A set of sculptures that walk along on MANY legs - appear to be wind-powered.
They look vaguely spooky to me!

To answer your question...probably a bit of both artist and engineer......very cool application of kinematics, but certainly not a
"genius" on that work alone..IMO

You don't. Apparently there are a few of them still wandering around the beaches in Scandanavia as I type...

He may not be a genius, but as an artist, he's managing to persuade people to *pay* him to spend his time making those things. Now *that* really
is impressive.
I rather like them too
