We presented "Future Dialogue," an installation where visitors can experience an android they can engage with richly—through facial expressions and gestures as well as sound and light—until they feel its heart.
"Future Dialogue" was an idea born from Kikuchi's vision. Sparked by Kikuchi's encounter with Dr. Ishiguro in 2021, the project began out of a desire to convey shosa to the world and bring new wonder.
This evolved form of "shosa" is called "SHOSA," expressed through sound and light that change in response to the movements of visitors and the android avatar. The ability to acquire this "SHOSA" is called "embodied knowledge."
