Jansen holds a PET bottle stomach of the beest.
Jansen's beloved dog, Murphy
is pictured in the foreground.
The two life forms look as if
they are communicating with
each other.
The moment of birth
of the new beest
All the parts manufactured at Jansen's
workshop are brought to the beach as
units and assembled and tested on the
beach. Excess friction or air leakage
will prevent the beest from walking.
The beest is recognized as alive only
when it takes its first step on this
beach. The wind is picking up. The
wings on the back capture the wind
and they move gracefully. Each sway
of the wings charges the wind power
into the stomach of the beest made of
PET bottles. The pressure inside the bottle
increases. Now everything is
ready. The compressed air in the
bottle is released to the structure.
The plastic tube pistons rotate
the cranks. We can hear the
crank operating. Its feet slowly
start moving and the support
sticks assist the stride of the
beest. A new artificial life form is
born. This is a divine creature full
of grace.
