Theo Janson

Theo Janson has created a new form of artificial life called "Animaris." I think it is very interesting how the animals can receive energy from the wind and depend on its feelers to determine what direction to move in. I think that his art, though somewhat bizarre, provides something that can be learned from. I believe that everything is possible and his version of an artificial lifeforms really makes the reader think about the possibilities of what could come in the future, no matter how far fetched the idea.

This was good. Although you didn't really mention what you think the purpose of art is. You got to your point quickly and this was well thought out.

I agree with you. I think that his creatures were amazing yet bizarre. I like how you described them and your post was well written.

Nice job Ashleigh! I agree with you on that one! Although you didn't state what you thought the purpose of art was, you still made it clear that you thought what he did is, in fact, art.
