Photographs of the Remote Robotic Piano Action, designed and created by Sam Underwood and Richard Sewell in collaboration with Zubin Kanga. The photographs also show Joanna Ward, commissioned to compose a piece for the device. The device allows the insides of the piano to be played from a remote location (away from the piano keys) using magnetic resonators and different types of motorised hammers.
