? oetic Piano is an interactive installation that explores language and expression boundaries, questioning artistic limitations while combining different means of communication and artistic expression. As an emotional and sensory language, music can express content greater than words or signs. 
How could we interpret harmony into words, or could we transform words into melody in a more literal context? 
Through sensors and programming, we linked each piano key to a letter of the alphabet, so when typing on the piano keys, the text would appear on the screen. After transforming a specific text into this new interdisciplinary melodic language, a piano performance could generate a poem, interact with the audience and develop intermediate feelings and expression signs. The music was then translated into words and the words into music, and the piano engaged into a new dimensional element of interaction with the audience, separately or not to the original intentions of harmony.

This interactive installation piece was presented at the Contemporary Piano Festival of the London Royal Academy of Music in June 2017.
