I Spent 300 Hours On Crochet Emoji Project

Emoji project is a palpable representation of pictographs, which have become an integral part of communicating in the virtual world. By turning digital images into tangible art objects I transform the language of pictograms, which sometimes substitutes natural languages, into the category of the modern cultural symbols. Pixels become yarn stitches and emojis themselves, instead of being images to be selected with just one click, become an object, and a lot of effort is required to create it. Thusly, emojis lose their main function, which is being a means of quick communication, and instead acquire the uniqueness of a valuable art object.

This project was first presented at Art Miami week (2019).

This lazy panda forgot to write something about itself.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too.
Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat.
My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.
