Wind. As in, “The answer my friend is blowin’ in the…”
This is the work of an amazing Dutch artist we stumbled upon who makes massive kinetic sculptures/creatures that are powered by a stiff breeze. Part Empire Strikes Back, part Andy Goldsworthy, part Burning Man on steroids, Theo Jansen’s video is absolutely incredible. Check it out.
The Thought Kitchen is our effort at collective inquiry and its power to affect change. Have you ever noticed how the party is always in the kitchen? There are more walls to lean on and people are energized by the proximity to food and drink. Well, welcome to our kitchen, where we hope to tap into everything we love about that feeling—community, vivacious exchange, food for thought.
