Emoji is the Japanese term for the ideograms or smileys used in Japanese electronic messages and webpages. And yes, people have found a way to be extremely good, creative and artistic at that as well.
How good? Well, no one is going to put this in the Louvre one day, although who knows what exhibition they’ll be holding there in 2150 about the history of mankind’s artistic ways, but if you know how to summarize a movie, TV show or a song using mostly the images your phone and computer offer you, this is probably the thing for you to excel in.
Finding Nemo
The Wire – Season 1
Les Miserables
