Remember Theo Jansen? He's a Danish industrial designer who left many in awe when he unveiled his 'strandebeests,' incredibly intricate large scale kinetic walkers powered by none other than the wind. The Rhinoceros, which premiered in 2007 blew many minds with its incredibly fluid, yet complex motion.
Fast forward a few years later, and a Lego enthusiast/industrial designer called Kvanb recreated the Rhinoceros in Lego form as a tribute to Jansen's genius. With Jansen's blessing he hopes to get enough interest on Cuusoo (Kickstarter for Legos) to make his project a set for the masses. It doesn't cost a thing, just a show of interest. If you're interested in contributing, head over to his project page! A brief video of the Rhinoceros in motion at Jansen's workshop below.
