What role do Emoticons play in the challenge of online social interaction?
It's a good start. You reconsidered the moments when you got aroused by artworks and thought about their connection with brands. Sometimes it's just the attraction from certain product that stimulates the willingness of consumers to purchase certain product, and I believe artworks themselves have the power in doing so, and the process through which they can be exploited is for you to explore. I don't think you finished your work, so please complete the rest of the documentation.
This is a pretty interesting project that caught my eye. However I feel like it would be much more striking and on-message if more photoshops were done and, as you said, put into a larger collage. I feel like putting dozens of famous works next to each other with the same face would highlight what you are trying to say - that there really is no expression.
That said, fantastic idea and great implementation!
You're exploring a dilemma that we're all very familiar with, the dilemma of choosing the tools to communicate our thoughts as accurately as possible. This is already a win because most of your audience can relate to your project. I think it's a very good choice here to remix emojis with portraits, as emojis emulate facial expressions. This is a very interesting project. Great job!
I like your idea and I think the final result looks quite nice. It's clean and the repetition of the emoji is a very clear motif in the image. I feel like I got a good sense of your project after reading the documentation, but not as much beforehand; I think this might be because (as you have addressed) the artworks on which you've overlaid the emoji are not famous enough that everyone knows what facial expression the people were making before. In the end, seeing the originals along with your work was helpful in better understanding your intentions of the piece (which are very insightful, so nice job!).
Your art makes an interesting statement about how we, as a culture, attempt to display our emotions. I get the sense that emoticons have replaced genuine expression from looking at your artwork. I like the idea, and I believe the execution was great!
