I LOST TRANSLATION

I Lost Translation highlights the importance of human interpretation by translating text through a series of languages and then back to its original language again to see how much meaning gets lost along the way.

Using only Google Translate, text was translated from English > Spanish > Chinese > Tagalog > Vietnamese > Arabic > French > Korean > Russian > German, and then back to English again.

Showcasing the translation of a collection of phrases used and heard throughout dating culture, I Lost Translation serves to express the futility of relying on technology without human interpretation–a reminder that just like in relationships, sometimes all we need is a little human touch.
