My creations, a new form of life | Theo Jansen

Prevoditelj: Romana Perković Recezent: Tilen Pigac - EFZG

I would like to tell you about a project which I started about 16 years ago.

Htio bih vam reći o projektu

koji sam započeo prije 16 godina,

It's about making new forms of life.

a riječ je o izradi novih oblika života.

And these are made of this kind of tube --

A ovi su napravljeni od ove vrste cijevi -

electricity tube, we call it in Holland.

cijev električne energije, zovemo to u Nizozemskoj

And we can start a film about that,

- i možemo početi film o tome

and we can see a little bit backwards in time.

i vidjeti malo unatrag u vremenu.

(Video) Narrator: Eventually, these beasts are going to live in herds on the beaches.

Pripovjedač: Na kraju, ove zvijeri će živjeti u stadima na plažama.

Theo Jansen is working hard on this evolution.

Theo Jansen naporno radi na ovoj evoluciji.

Theo Jansen: Ja želim staviti ove oblike života na plaže.

Theo Jansen: I want to put these forms of life on the beaches.

And they should survive over there,

I oni bi trebali samostalno preživjeti tamo,

on their own, in the future.

u budućnosti.

Learning to live on their own --

Naučiti živjeti samostalno,

and it'll take couple of more years

i potrajat će još par godina dok samostalno ne prohodaju.

to let them walk on their own.

Narrator: The mechanical beasts will not get their energy from food,

Pripovjedač: Mehaničke zvijeri neće dobiti svoju energiju iz hrane, nego od vjetra.

but from the wind.

The wind will move feathers on their back, which will drive their feet.

Vjetar će pomicati perje na njihovim leđima, što će voziti njihove noge.

The beast walks sideways on the wet sand of the beach,

Zvijer hoda bočno na mokrom pijesku plaže,

with its nose pointed into the wind.

sa svojim nosom prema vjetru.

As soon as it walks into either the rolling surf or the dry sand,

Čim dođe do izbočine ili suhog pijeska, ona staje,

it stops, and walks in the opposite direction.

i kreće u suprotnom smjeru.

Evolution has generated many species.

Evolucija je stvorila mnoge vrste.

(Music)

This is the Animaris Currens Ventosa.

Ovo je Animaris Currens Ventosa.

(Music)

(Laughter)

(Applause)

(Pljesak)

TJ: This is a herd, and it is built according to genetic codes.

Jansen: Ovo je stado, a građeno je prema genetskim kodovima,

And it is a sort of race, and each and every animal is different,

i to je vrsta rase, i svaka životinja je različita,

and the winning codes will multiply.

a pobjedničke kodove ćemo umnožiti.

This is the wave, going from left to right.

To je val, idući s lijeva na desno, možete vidjeti ovaj.

You can see this one.

Yes, and now it goes from left to right.

I sad to ide od - da, sada ide s lijeva na desno.

This is a new generation, a new family,

To je nova generacija, nova obitelj,

which is able to store the wind.

koja je u stanju pohraniti vjetrove.

So, the wings pump up air in lemonade bottles,

Krila napumpaju zrak u boce limunade

which are on top of that.

koje su na vrhu toga -

And they can use that energy in case the wind falls away,

i oni mogu koristiti tu energiju u slučaju nedostatka vjetra,

and the tide is coming up,

a plima dolazi, a još je malo energije

and there is still a little bit of energy to reach the dunes and save their lives,

kako bi došli do dina i spasili svoje živote, jer se vrlo jednostavno mogu utopiti.

because they are drowned very easily.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

I could show you this animal.

Mogao bih vam pokazati ove životinje.

(Applause)

(Pljesak) Hvala.

Thank you.

(Applause)

So, the proportion of the tubes in this animal is very important for the walking.

Udio cijevi u ove životinje je vrlo važan za hodanje.

There are 11 numbers, which I call The 11 Holy Numbers.

Ima 11 brojeva, koje sam nazvao 11 svetih brojeva.

These are the distances of the tubes which make it walk that way.

To su udaljenosti od cijevi kako bi hodali u tom smjeru.

In fact, it's a new invention of the wheel.

U stvari, to je novi izum kotača.

It works the same as a wheel.

Djeluje isto kao i kotač.

The axis of a wheel stays on the same level,

Os kotača ostaje na istoj razini,

and this hip is staying on the same level as well.

a ovaj kuk također ostaje na istom nivou.

In fact, this is better than a wheel,

U stvari, to je bolje nego kotač, jer

because when you try to drive your bicycle on the beach,

kada pokušate voziti svoj bicikl po plaži,

you will notice it's very hard to do.

primijetit ćete da je to vrlo teško učiniti.

And the feet just step over the sand,

A noge samo prekorače iznad pijeska,

and the wheel has to touch every piece of the ground in-between.

a kotač mora dodirnuti svaki komad zemlje između.

So 5,000 years after the invention of the wheel,

Dakle, 5.000 godina nakon izuma kotača,

we have a new wheel.

imamo novi kotač. I ja ću vam pokazati u sljedećem videu

I will show you, in the next video --

can you start it, please? --

- možete li ga pokrenuti, molim vas? -

that very heavy loads can be moved.

da se vrlo težak teret može premjestiti.

Čovjek ga gura tamo iza,

There's a guy pushing there, behind,

but it can also walk on the wind very well.

ali također može vrlo dobro hodati na vjetru.

It's 3.2 tons.

To su 3,2 tone.

I to radi na pohranjenim vjetrovima u bocama.

This is working on the stored wind in the bottles.

It has a feeler, where it can feel obstacles and turn around.

Ima pipak gdje može osjetiti prepreke i okrenuti se.

You see, it's going the other way.

A ta stvar, vidite, ide u suprotnom smjeru.

Can I have the feeler here?

Mogu li dobiti pipak ovdje?

OK. Good.

OK. Dobro.

So, they have to survive all the dangers of the beach,

Dakle, oni moraju preživjeti sve opasnosti na plaži,

and one of the big dangers is the sea.

a jedna od velikih opasnosti je more. Ovo je more.

This is the sea.

I moraju osjetiti vodu mora.

And it must feel the water of the sea.

And this is the water feeler,

I ovo je pipak za vodu.

and what's very important is this tube.

I što je vrlo važno, to je cijev. Uvlači zrak normalno,

It sucks in air normally,

but when it swallows water, it feels the resistance of it.

ali kad proguta vodu osjeća otpor.

So, imagine that the animal is walking towards the sea.

Pa zamislite da životinja hoda prema moru.

As soon as it touches the water --

Čim dotakne vodu trebate čuti zvuk tekućeg zraka.

you should hear a sound of running air.

(Sound of running air)

Yes!

Da! Dakle, ako je ne osjeti, ona će se utopiti, OK?

So if it doesn't feel, it will be drowned, OK?

Here we have the brain of the animal.

Ovdje imamo mozak životinje.

In fact, it is a step counter, and it counts the steps.

U stvari, to je brojač koraka, koji broji korake.

It's a binary step counter.

To je binarni brojač koraka.

So as soon it has been to the sea,

Dakle, čim je na moru,

it changes the pattern of zeroes and ones here.

on mijenja uzorak nula i jedinica ovdje,

i zna uvijek gdje se nalazi na plaži. To je vrlo jednostavan mozak.

And it always knows where it is on the beach.

So it's very simple brain.

It says, well, there's the sea, there are dunes, and I'm here.

On kaže, tu je more, tu su i dine, i ja sam ovdje.

So it's a sort of imagination of the simple world of the beach animal.

To je mašta jednostavnog svijeta životinja na plaži.

Thank you.

Hvala Vam.

One of the biggest enemies are the storms.

Jedan od najvećih neprijatelja su oluje.

This is a part of the nose of the Animaris Percipiere.

To je dio nosa Animaris Percipiere,

i kad je nos fiksiran na životinju, cijela životinja je fiksirana.

When the nose of the animal is fixed, the whole animal is fixed.

Dakle, kad oluja dolazi,

So when the storm is coming up,

it drives a pin into the ground.

zabije se u zemlju. (Smijeh)

(Laughter)

Audience member: Wow!

The nose is fixed, the whole animal is fixed.

I nos je fiksiran, cijela životinja je fiksirana.

The wind may turn, but the animal will always turn its nose into the wind.

Vjetar može okrenuti, ali životinja će uvijek okrenuti svoj nos u vjetar.

Now, another couple of years, and these animals will survive on their own.

Sada još nekoliko godina, i ove životinje će samostalno preživljavati.

I still have to help them a lot.

Ipak im moram pomoći još puno.

Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.

Hvala vam puno, dame i gospodo.

(Applause)
