Love in the Time of Emoji

Release Date:


When LOL just isn't enough to respond to a friend's killer joke, emoji are there for you. But for many people, there isn't an emoji to represent them or the things they want to say. This has pushed activists, designers, and straight up regular folks to create their own emoji. It's not as easy an undertaking as you might think, but every now and then one of these new emoji is so innovative it breaks the digital mold and finds itself in the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum. In this episode of Sidedoor, we explore how one groundbreaking emoji is changing digital representation and the future of museum collections.

Guests:


Jennifer 8 Lee, Founder of EmojiNation
Andrea Lipps, Contemporary Design Curator at Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum
Evan Bonnstetter, Director of Product Policy for Tinder
Keith Broni, Deputy Emoji Officer for Emojipedia
