Here are some of Theo Jansen’s creatures which were on display at Hibiya Patio in Tokyo. I only have photos of these (no video), and they are taken and uploaded with permission from the artist.

Theo Jansen Exhibit at Hibiya Patio, Tokyo

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

After nearly two months since visiting the Theo Jansen exhibit in Tokyo, I’m finally getting around to posting photos and videos. These will be compiled into blog posts over the next few hours (and perhaps days), but I intend to get everything online before the week’s end.

The exhibit was phenomenal, and I’m still extremely glad I went to see it. Seeing such elegant engineering and design was as mind-boggling as when I saw the Blinkenlights display at Nuit Blanche.

Here are some photos of the exterior of the building, stuff from Jansen’s shop and trinkets from the play table. All images are posted with the permission of the artist, and more can be found on my Flickr page.
