Theo Jansen: The art of creating creatures

A video clip from Theo Jansen's presentation at TED.com. One of the interesting idea that he proposes is the evolution of the new wheel. Could we see then an evolution of the wheel, the latter of which have remained largely unchanged for 5000 years? Who knows, these could be the next evolution in mankind's constant pursuit for semi- or total perfection and seamlessness in design with nature.

About me

I am an educator and a firm believer in shaping each child to his or her fullest potential. I believe that each should be exposed to the many myriads of professions and subject matter as s/he possibly can, and then to work from there to see how her/his potential can be realised. I am a firm believer in leveraging technology to deepen the students' learning in and out of the classrooms, and then to nurture them to be active citizens, and (co)creators of content.

I love photography, especially photo-journalistic works, and subscribes to the idea that each photo tells a deeper story. You can check some of my works in my Behance profile.

I love to travel whenever I have the opportunity, and am wishing that I can tick off all the places that I want to visit in my bucket list.

A firm believer and practitioner of design thinking, I love the idea that design, in its many forms, should be about the people, their experiences, the exploring of the many design facets that are embedded and intrinsic to making something well-designed, regardless whether it is a physical product, or a digital artefact for the web.
