PEEPP - Portuguese Epic Emoji Poem Project

2018

Developed for The New Art Fest 2018, PEEPP was an interactive installation for the collaborative translation into emoji of the epic poem Os Lusíadas by Portuguese author Luís Vaz de Camões.

After the current line of the poem has been translated, it is printed on a small printer and published to Twitter.

Os Lusíadas is considered one of he most important works of literature in the Portuguese language and was the first Portuguese epic poem to be published in print.

PEEPP was installed in the window of the historic Sá da Costa bookstore in Lisbon.
