Simultaneously belonging to and about the world of art, emoji art is our attempt to render the occasionally esoteric art world in a more playful, approachable register. Through our process, we have come to question and explore how emojis function as their own language and mode of representation. In return, we hope to draw attention to the power that the emoji has as a visual mediation: subjectively representing even as it sometimes strives to be taken as universal.
