Made a duffle-bag type-thing out of canvas. I decided it needed an image on it so I put the cover of Joy Division's first EP, An Ideal for Living, on there.

Project about communication. We looked at how emotions are read in Western and Eastern culture. In the West we read emotions mainly from the mouth, which is why our emotiCONs (which are simplified emotions) all use similar eyes (a colon or semicolon) and in the East their emoticons all have the same mouth (usually an underscore) and it's the eyes that change, because that's what they read.

We Combined both types of emoticon to form a universal language - where both the mouth and eyes change - then brought the idea into the real world to show how universal emotional language doesnt actually work beyond a computer screen.
