GOOGLE TRANSLATE SONGS
Google Translate Songs is a work that integrates various elements that can usually be found in performance art, experimental music and poetry. The performance is divided into three parts and performed by three participants; two people who recite words and make movements, and a machine that generates sound. The piece is created using various languages and word machines such as Google Translate. The performers try to emulate the sound of the machine that mimics the language of humans. Thus creating a form of circle of mimicry, where both humans and machines mimic each other. The words slowly lose their meaning, and a new form of communication is created between man and machine.
The goal is to create a kinetic and melodic dialogue between the three elements present on the stage. The performance revolves around themes such as: language, human/machine, duality, reflection,presence, body and nature.
