The proposed installation is an art piece located in different museums over the world. The robot you interact with, is translating the gestures and behaviour of the visitors of a museum on another part of the globe. This translation is into the robots' own, abstract language, which the visitors have to explore and discover. The robots themselves might be capable of learning and adapting, so that over the course of the exhibition, different languages start to become more and more alike. | The proposed installation is an art piece located in different museums over the world.

Why?
The way we communicate with one another is often based on how much we have in common, how much we know about one another and what language, customs and non-verbal expressions are used. The way we use (sign)language is not something we stop to think about often, but is not so self-evident as we think. This installation's aim is to make you stop and think, wonder and explore, and eventually learn; what was it like to start exploring and discovering communication?
How?
By using an installation in a museum as an intermediate factor, all the barriers that existed between two human beings prior to engaging this piece disappear, as they are now both confronted by the alien language the robot is confronting the user with.

The robot you interact with, is translating the gestures and behaviour of the visitors of a museum on another part of the globe. This translation is into the robots' own, abstract language, which the visitors have to explore and discover. The robots themselves might be capable of learning and adapting, so that over the course of the exhibition, different languages start to become more and more alike.
