Theo Jansen - Strandbeest ("Beachbeast")

Theo Jansen, if you're unfamiliar, is the progenitor of Strandbeests--autonomous, wind-powered plastic tube creatures, many the size of elephants and larger, that this Dutch artist / engineer assembles to roam the beaches of Holland. And this is called Kinetic Sculptures.
