Animaris Gubernare received two external wind stomachs. They roll in front of the beast, so it doesn't have to carry them. This saves a lot of weight. Also I have been working this summer on a new drive system which allows this animal to walk on the fluffy sand.
Theo Jansen will be working on the beach of Den Haag Holland from the begining of August till the end of September 2011.
The Animaris will get an external wind-stomach.The stomach (PET-Bottles) will be rolling in front of the beast. In this way the beast doesn't have to carry the wind-stomach and it will save a lot of weight. The external wind-stomach can also serve as an anchor.
Try outs will take usually during weekdays. Theo will be working near De Fuut. You are free to visit but Theo cannot promise he will be there. When he is there he will have a few minutes for you.
"STRANDBEESTEN" documentary by Alexander Schlichter takes part in the BIO:FICTION SCIENCE, Art and Film Festival.
Last week he put the first steps on the beach with disastrous results. He collapsed utterly. The cause is in my opinion overweight.
Yesterday I got a great idea to obesity to tackle the so-called mini-ski pole. Next Thursday through Sunday will these new findings
showing on the beach at the beach Pavillion De Fuut on the beach south of the harbor at Scheveningen. I can not run the entire Gubernare
but pieces beast. In the coming months, I work on the beach with a well-functioning Gubernare."
