I would like to tell you about a project
0
0
4000
Voleo bih da vam opišem projekat
00:29
which I started about 16 years ago,
1
4000
4000
koji sam počeo pre nekih 16 godina,
00:33
and it's about making new forms of life.
2
8000
4000
a radi se o stvaranju novih formi života.
00:37
And these are made of this kind of tube --
3
12000
4000
Napravljeni su od ovakvih cevi -
00:41
electricity tube, we call it in Holland.
4
16000
3000
električnih cevi, kako ih zovemo u Holandiji.
00:44
And we can start a film about that,
5
19000
4000
Možemo da pustimo film o tome
00:48
and we can see a little bit backwards in time.
6
23000
4000
i tako pogledamo malo u prošlost.
00:52
(Video) Narrator: Eventually, these beasts are going to live in herds on the beaches.
7
27000
5000
(Video) Narator: Jednog dana, ove zveri će živeti u krdima na plažama.
00:57
Theo Jansen is working hard on this evolution.
8
32000
5000
Teo Jansen vredno radi na ovoj evoluciji.
01:02
Theo Jansen: I want to put these forms of life on the beaches.
9
37000
7000
Teo Jansen: Hoću da stavim ove oblike života na plaže.
01:09
And they should survive over there,
10
44000
3000
I trebalo bi da oni tamo prežive,
01:12
on their own, in the future.
11
47000
4000
potpuno samostalno, u budućnosti.
01:16
Learning to live on their own --
12
51000
3000
Naučiće da žive samostalno -
01:19
and it'll take couple of more years to let them walk on their own.
13
54000
11000
a trebaće mi još par godina da ih pustim da sami hodaju.
01:30
Narrator: The mechanical beasts will not get their energy from food, but from the wind.
14
65000
5000
Narator: Mehaničke zveri neće dobijati energiju iz hrane, nego iz vetra.
01:35
The wind will move feathers on their back, which will drive their feet.
15
70000
3000
Vetar će pomerati perje na njihovim leđima, što će im pokretati noge.
01:38
The beast walks sideways on the wet sand of the beach,
16
73000
4000
Zveri hodaju bočno po mokrom pesku plaže,
01:42
with its nose pointed into the wind.
17
77000
5000
sa nosem uperenim u vetar.
01:47
As soon as it walks into either the rolling surf or the dry sand, it stops,
18
82000
5000
Kada nađe na more ili suvi pesak, zaustavlja se,
01:52
and walks in the opposite direction.
19
87000
5000
i odlazi u suprotnom smeru.
01:57
Evolution has generated many species.
20
92000
17000
Evolucija je stvorila mnoge vrste.
02:14
This is the Animaris Currens Ventosa.
21
109000
13000
Ovo je Animaris Currens Ventosa.
02:27
(Applause)
22
122000
8000
(Aplauz)
02:35
TJ: This is a herd, and it is built according to genetical codes.
23
130000
7000
TJ: Ovo je krdo, napravljeno po genetskom kodu.
02:42
And it is a sort of race, and each and every animal is different,
24
137000
4000
Ove je kao jedna rasa, svaka životinja je drugačija,
02:46
and the winning codes will multiply.
25
141000
3000
a pobednički kod će se umnožavati.
02:49
This is the wave, going from left to right. You can see this one.
26
144000
9000
Ovo je talas, ide sa leva na desno. Pogledajte ovaj.
02:58
And now it goes from -- yes, now it goes from left to right.
27
153000
3000
A sada ide sa -- da, sada ide sa leva na desno.
03:01
This is a new generation, a new family,
28
156000
3000
Ovo je nova generacija, nova familija,
03:04
which is able to store the winds.
29
159000
3000
koja može da skladišti vetar.
03:07
So, the wings pump up air in lemonade bottles,
30
162000
3000
Dakle, vetar pumpa vazduh u boce limunade,
03:10
which are on top of that.
31
165000
2000
koje su ovde na vrhu.
03:12
And they can use that energy in case the wind falls away,
32
167000
6000
I mogu da koriste ovu energiju u slučaju da ponestane vetra,
03:18
and the tide is coming up, and there is still a little bit of energy
33
173000
3000
nailazi plima, ali imaju još malo energije
03:21
to reach the dunes and save their lives, because they are drowned very easily.
34
176000
6000
da se dokopaju dina i spasu se, jer se veoma lako dave.
03:27
(Laughter)
35
182000
6000
(Smeh)
03:33
I could show you this animal.
36
188000
11000
Mogu da vam pokažem ovu životinju.
03:44
(Applause) Thank you.
37
199000
7000
(Aplauz) Hvala.
03:51
So, the proportion of the tubes in this animal is very important for the walking.
38
206000
7000
Dakle, odnos cevi u ovoj životinji je veoma važan za hodanje.
03:58
There are 11 numbers, which I call the 11 holy numbers.
39
213000
3000
Ima 11 brojeva, koje ja zovem 11 svetih brojeva.
04:01
These are the distances of the tubes which make it walk that way.
40
216000
5000
To su razdaljine među cevima pomoću kojih oni ovako hodaju.
04:06
In fact, it's a new invention of the wheel.
41
221000
3000
Zapravo, ovo je ponovno otkriće točka.
04:09
It works the same as a wheel.
42
224000
2000
Radi isto kao točak.
04:11
The axis of a wheel is staying on the same level,
43
226000
4000
Osa točka ostaje na istom nivou
04:15
and this hip is staying on the same level as well.
44
230000
3000
i ovaj kuk takođe ostaje na istom nivou.
04:18
In fact, this is better than a wheel, because
45
233000
3000
Zapravo, ovo je još i bolje od točka, jer
04:21
when you try to drive with your bicycle on the beach,
46
236000
4000
kada pokušate da vozite bicikl po plaži
04:25
you will notice it's very hard to do.
47
240000
4000
primetićete da je to veoma teško.
04:29
And the feet just step over the sand,
48
244000
5000
Noge prave korake po pesku,
04:34
and the wheel has to touch every piece of the ground in between.
49
249000
4000
dok točak mora da dodirne svaki komad zemlje između koraka.
04:38
So, 5,000 years after the invention of the wheel,
50
253000
4000
I tako, 5 000 godina posle otkrića točka,
04:42
we have a new wheel. And I will show you, in the next video
51
257000
4000
imamo novi točak. A pokazaću vam na sledećem snimku
04:46
-- can you start it, please? --
52
261000
4000
- možete li da pustite, molim Vas? -
04:50
that very heavy loads can be moved.
53
265000
5000
da mogu pokrenuti veoma teški tovar.
04:55
There's a guy pushing there, behind,
54
270000
4000
Pozadi je jedan momak koji gura,
04:59
but can also walk on the wind very well.
55
274000
3000
ali može hodati sasvim dobro i uz pomoć vetra.
05:02
It's 3.2 tons.
56
277000
2000
Ovo je teško 3,2 tone.
05:04
And this is working on the stored winds in the bottles.
57
279000
10000
A ovde radi na vetru sačuvanom u flašama.
05:14
It has a feeler, where it can feel obstacles and turn around.
58
289000
4000
Ima pipak, preko kog može da oseti prepreke i okrene se.
05:18
And that stuff, you see, is going to it the other way.
59
293000
2000
A ovo, vidite, ide u suprotnom smeru.
05:31
Can I have the feeler here?
60
306000
3000
Možete li doneti pipak ovde?
05:38
OK. Good.
61
313000
3000
Ok. Dobro.
05:43
So, they have to survive all the dangers of the beach,
62
318000
5000
Dakle, moraju da prežive sve opasnosti plaže,
05:48
and one of the big dangers is the sea. This is the sea.
63
323000
3000
a jedna od velikih opasnosti je more. Ovo je more.
05:51
And it must feel the water of the sea.
64
326000
5000
Mora da oseti vodu iz mora.
05:56
And this is the water feeler.
65
331000
2000
Ovo je pipak za vodu.
05:58
And what's very important is this tube. It sucks in air normally,
66
333000
7000
A ono što je veoma važno je ova cev. Ona inače usisava vazduh,
06:05
but when it swallows water, it feels the resistance of it.
67
340000
5000
ali kada proguta vodu, oseća njen otpor.
06:10
So imagine that the animal is walking towards the sea.
68
345000
8000
Zamislite da životinja hoda prema moru.
06:18
As soon as it touches the water, you should hear a sort of sound of running air.
69
353000
10000
Čim dodirne vodu, trebalo bi da čujete zvuk izpuštenog vazduha.
06:32
Yes! So if it doesn't feel, it will be drowned, OK?
70
367000
11000
Da! Ako ne oseća, utopiće se, znate?
06:47
Here, we have the brain of the animal.
71
382000
4000
Ovde vidimo mozak životinje.
06:51
In fact, it is a step counter, and it counts the steps.
72
386000
4000
Zapravo, to je brojač koraka, on broji korake.
06:55
It's a binary step counter.
73
390000
2000
Ovo je binaran brojač koraka.
06:57
So as soon it has been to the sea,
74
392000
3000
Dakle, čim dođe do mora,
07:00
it changes the pattern of zeroes and ones here,
75
395000
7000
menja kombinaciju nula i jedinica ovde,
07:07
and it knows always where it is on the beach. So it's very simple brain.
76
402000
7000
i uvek zna gde se nalazi na plaži. To je vrlo jednostavan mozak.
07:14
It says, well, there's the sea, there are dunes, and I'm here.
77
409000
4000
On kaže, pa, tamo je more, tamo su dine, a ja sam ovde.
07:18
So it's a sort of imagination of the simple world of the beach animal.
78
413000
5000
To je jedna slika jednostavnog sveta životinje sa plaže.
07:23
Thank you.
79
418000
2000
Hvala.
07:26
One of the biggest enemies are the storms.
80
421000
8000
Jedan od najvećih neprijatelja su oluje.
07:34
This is a part of the nose of the Animaris Percipiere,
81
429000
5000
Ovo je deo nosa životinje Animaris Percipiere,
07:39
and when the nose is fixed -- of the animal -- the whole animal is fixed.
82
434000
7000
kada je nos životinje fiksiran - fiksirana je cela životinja.
07:46
So when the storm is coming up,
83
441000
8000
Tako kada nailazi oluja,
07:54
it drives a pin into the ground. (Laughter)
84
449000
6000
on zabije kolac u zemlju. (Smeh)
08:00
And the nose is fixed, the whole animal is fixed.
85
455000
2000
I nos je fiksiran, cela životinja je fiksirana.
08:02
The wind may turn, but the animal will turn always its nose into the wind.
86
457000
8000
Vetar se može menjati, ali životinja će uvek nos okretati prema vetru.
08:10
Now, another couple of years, and these animals will survive on their own.
87
465000
5000
Još par godina i ove će životinje preživljavati same.
08:15
I still have to help them a lot.
88
470000
2000
Sada još uvek moram puno da im pomažem.
08:17
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
89
472000
2000
Hvala Vam puno, dame i gospodo.
08:19
(Applause).

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Theo Jansen - ArtistTheo Jansen is a Dutch artist who builds walking kinetic sculptures that he calls a new form of life. His "Strandbeests" walk the coastline of Holland, feeding on wind and fleeing from water.
Why you should listen
Dutch artist Theo Jansen has been working for 16 years to create sculptures that move on their own in eerily lifelike ways. Each generation of his "Strandbeests" is subject to the forces of evolution, with successful forms moving forward into new designs. Jansen's vision and long-term commitment to his wooden menagerie is as fascinating to observe as the beasts themselves.
His newest creatures walk without assistance on the beaches of Holland, powered by wind, captured by gossamer wings that flap and pump air into old lemonade bottles that in turn power the creatures' many plastic spindly legs. The walking sculptures look alive as they move, each leg articulating in such a way that the body is steady and level. They even incorporate primitive logic gates that are used to reverse the machine's direction if it senses dangerous water or loose sand where it might get stuck.
