Hayku Matrix transforms a vintage Olivetti Summa Prima 20 calculator into a poetic tool. Repurposed to remix and compose haikus, it draws from the original verses of four haiku masters. Users follow an operational process similar to the calculator’s, blending logic and creativity. Born from the idea that poetry, like math, follows structure and precision, Hayku Matrix turns cold calculations into poetic expression—bridging function and feeling through an interactive, nostalgic object reimagined for a lyrical purpose.
