emoji is Coming to The Cow Parade

The artist, Sebastián Chávez, in collaboration with

emoji

, has designed a piece with thousands of yellow faces. The fiberglass creation, “EMOOJI,” represents the new way of digital communication of the last decade: emojis. 

“The use of the emoji brand icons to construct the cow in the sculpture has several creative intentions,” says Chávez. “Emojis are universal symbols used to express emotions and messages digitally. By incorporating them into a physical sculpture, a connection is created between the virtual and tangible worlds. This blending of the two realms prompts viewers to consider the impact of technology on emotions and relationships. The use of the emoji brand icons also makes the artwork relatable and inclusive to a diverse audience. It bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary art forms and sparks conversations about communication and the power of art to connect people.”
