By Wang Jung-hsiang and Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporter, with staff writerAn exhibition of emojis and emoji-inspired works by 12 illustrators is to open at Kaohsiung’s Pier-2 Art Center tomorrow. Titled “Emojis for the Summer Vacation” (Emoji表情符號放暑假), it is to feature capsule toys, walls of emoji designs, interactive photo booths and other installations. Emojis are a universal language of a new era that makes messages more interesting, they said. Studio Yoshi 850 has access to more than 17,000 original designs in the collection of official emoji brand GmbH, a Hamburg, Germany-based firm, to create products for the exhibition. The exhibition is at warehouse B6 in the center’s Penglai Area and runs through Sept. 18.
