MOCA Toronto wanted to promote the Age of You, an exhibit about who we are today. So we took society’s online sharing behavior and created a symbol that asked the question; “If you don’t post a selfie, were you really here?”  Meet MOCA’s Thinking Emoji - a symbol that got people to rethink their sharing obsession. The Thinking Emoji popped up everywhere, and people did exactly as planned – they shared it, and in the process promoted the exhibit, making it the most visited in MOCA history.
