I think that the anamari Theo Jansen created are incredible works of art. Theo Jansen is an artist and former physicist. To make his creation he used his skills from both jobs. I think that it is an incredible piece of machinery, and that it shows the advancing world of science. However I don't like that they are calling it a life form, or new species. The anamari are simply machines and do not have any characteristics of life. And the idea of them being able to evolve and take over each others DNA seems far fetched and ridiculous. The purpose of art is to create something new or unique that is pleasing to the eye or ear, and get people to think in new and different directions.

I think you are right on with the opinion that the idea of the animari "evolving" is far fetched. I also with your opinion on how it is ridiculus that these machines are considered to be like humans. The animari are indeed a magnificent creation and work of art. Good job on your response!
I agree with the fact that the animari should not be considered a life form, and I was also unsure of how they would be able to evolve overtime.
I agree with the comment that you made about the Animari taking others' "DNA" in order to "evolve" or take on the traits of the other creatures. I like how you said that both of his respective fields contributed to the creation of these unique creatures. Now this is a field that is truly interdisciplinary. Good job.
I agree that the anamari are an incredible piece of machinery and an advance in world of science. I also agree that they don't characterize any feature of life. How would they be able to evolve and everything, I don't know.
