As a brand-like sculptural wall piece, the Trilobite emoticon stands as a bold title within the exhibition. The type of font used for the six characters that compose the image is Roboto Bold. Roboto is the standard text font installed in the Android smartphone operating system, from which this combination was (possibly) discovered by me during daily text messaging. The accurate shape of the characters were reproduced with the traditional craft technique of slate tiles, commonly known for covering roofs and facades of houses in several regions in Germany and elsewhere. The stone material itself comes from prehistoric times, even holding fossil animal remains such as Trilobites or Ammonites from the Cambrian in some of its mining sites. Color and shape of the slates refer directly to the physiognomy of the Isopods shown.
