Answer: Strandbeests

Explanation:

Hi, "Theo" Jansen is a Dutch artist who builds Kinetic Sculptures since 1990.

He created mechanical animals that are able to move constructed largely of PVC tubing and placed them on the beach. They are wind-powered (using the strong winds in the beach)

He called them strandbeests (beach animals in Dutch) and they are an embodiment of art, science, and engineering.
