The poem places itself in a tradition stretching back to Sappho, who twenty-six centuries ago wrote a poem about her own dissolution and addressed it to κῆνος — "that man there" — who we now understand to be the future reader.</p> <p>We asked: what happens when a poem is compressed into emoji? Not as decoration, not as illustration, but as genuine translation — glyph for word, ideogram for breath? And then: what happens when those emoji are translated back into language by readers who have never seen the original?</p> <p>Five translators independently rendered the poem into emoji. Eight reverse translations emerged from blind reconstruction. Four luxurious transpositions rendered the sequences into elevated prose. Thirty-two artifacts in total.</p> <p>The architecture persists. The ampersand appears in every version. The question mark ends every version. The dead men are present in every version.

Sharks compressed them all into fourteen lines. We compressed those into emoji. The emoji generated new poems.
