Translator()
The Translator is an interactive installation inspired by the childhood whisper game, also known as the telephone game, where a message subtly transforms as it passes from one person to another, demonstrating the fascinating distortion of information.
Users engage by selecting a language to translate a poem, initiating a new iteration of back-and-forth translation. Each iteration creates new poems that gradually deviate from the original. This metamorphosis sometimes yields unexpectedly beautiful new insights. Also available online at gedichten.vanhekke.nl.
