The Animaris Protinus, that's the beast which Theo will show on the beach. It is a twin animal. Two beasts that hold each other so, they will not be blown over. Those two animals are completely different. One is specialized in propulsion (many sails); the other is the bottle carrier and controls all the senses. They are connected like a siamese twin and live in symbiosis with reach other. It feels the water and the fluffy sand and reacts on it.
Route:
Go to the Markenseplein in Den Haag and take the footpath into the dunes (close to Snackcar Melissa)… follow that path to the beach Strandslag 10 (go straight, don't take the path to the right) Ones on the beach, go to the left 200 m. Look for a yellow Beach Restaurant named De Fuut www.defuut.nl
By public transport:
Take the tram 12 (dir. Duindorp) on railway station Den Haag HS (Hollands Spoor) and go to the end of the line (Markenseplein).
He might also be in his studio in Ypenburg
It is public territory and you can visit anytime. There will be a bone yard and some boards with photo's and explanation. There will be a walking animal, which you can push or pull by hand. If Theo is there he will have a few minutes for you. If you want to see the interior of the cabin (all the tools and machines), you can send an email to Mrs. Coby Fritz cobyfritz@casema.nl. She lives around the corner. And she can open the door for you. His cabin doesn't have an official address but you can find it on top of a hill on the corner of the Laan van Haamstede and de Singel in Den Haag Holland.

Try out the herd of Animarae Adulari.
Theo has been working on a herd of six animals in the summer. The Animaris Adulari is relatively small, five meters long and three meters high. It can survive strong winds. It has a wagging neck and a wagging tail. Theo tries to use the wagging movement to steer the animal.
If the wind is 3bfrt or stronger, it will walk on the wind.

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 beginning 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."
