I've been finding myself astounded at the impact of emojis has had on life for young Americans. And now, this article from The Creator's Project has me feeling even more bewildered about the concept of emojis. The article is about Daniel McKee, a London filmmaker who's put together a film entitled #emojisintheworld which is a collection of 817 different emojis represented in the real world. Below are some of the examples (credited to the site).
I remember that in high school, on occasion (when I was being exceptionally immature) I would carry on entire conversations exclusively using emojis. And now, I'm just awestruck that they're almost being used as an art form. I guess it does make sense, given that emojis are meant to be little depictions of feelings and facial expressions, but still! I'm very interested in seeing where this trend of #emojisinthewild will be taken.
