I have created 65 different well-known as well as new emojis that have been put on 2015 (that’s when an emoji became the word of the year) yellow inflatable beach balls using 14 character sets of different typefaces (Avant Garde Gothic, Avenir, Frutiger, Helvetica, Eurostile, Futura, Courier, Didot, Trajan, Caslon, Baskerville, Garamond, Times, Pistilli). Then I filled up a room with these yellow balls.
Every visitor can take a beach ball home in exchange of a single word they come up with that they place into a box. At the end of the exhibition the word that most people have written down will become the word of this exhibition and will be written down on an empty ball.
The more places this exhibition will be held the more interesting it will be to see the chosen words from that certain exhibition, will it be affected by a nation or a geographical location?
