INSTerviews is a cycle


of conversations


about


themes between


architecture, design,


landscape and art.




Each series of 


INSTerviews deals


with the relations of proximity


(and distance) of


different practices


that operate with the


transformation of the


physical and virtual


environment.




The INSTerviews are


carried out by INST’s


team together with


external and  delocalized


and collaborators.









This interview focuses on the Strandbeest structures by Theo Jansen —specifically the first exemplars in the Southern Hemisphere, at Cerro Timbó, Uruguay.

The dutch artist reminisces on the nature of his work and about the meaning of his moving criatures, how they could be interpreted as new ways of life and their relation to evolution, nature, the digital and shared creation.

Theo Jansen was interviewed by Andres Gobba, Matias Carballal and Mauricio López —co-founders and directors of INST— and by Carlos Abboud — Argetinian art collector, founder of the Cerro Timbó park, lawyer and entrepreneur —.
