RemotePiano installation is an experimental project to explore the potential for new forms of art expression for the upcoming 21st century, including the Internet, computer graphics, automatic piano performance, etc. The themes of the project are collaboration over the network and interaction through sounds, graphics, and instruments, featuring musician Ryuichi Sakamoto, media artist Toshio Iwai, and network artist Koichiro Eto. Visitors could access the ICC home page to play the grand piano located in ICC remotely. Pressing down a piano key enabled visitors to perform a music session with other players over the Internet simultaneously, and receive an image of the performance.
