The meeting
A Japanese robot designer passing through Germany presents his female android robot to a former doctor of a nursing home in the city of Siegen. The designer doesn’t understand German, his interlocutor doesn’t understand Japanese or English, the android is programmed in English. Each one speaking its own language (Japanese, German, English), the dialogue seems impossible. However, an exchange is established which seems totally random.
In this video, Yves Gellie, prefigures a near future where we will be able to communicate without understanding or speaking the language of our interlocutor. One of the participants enumerates the long list of his expectations.
