This podcast (first recorded in 2015, now being rerun as one of our evergreen
classics/ favorites) -- is ALL about emoji. But it's
really about how
innovation really comes about: through the tension between open standards vs.
closed/ proprietary systems; the politics of time and place; and the economics
of creativity, from making to funding.
So yes, this podcast is all about emoji. But it's also about where emoji fits
in the taxonomy of social communication, and why that matters -- from making
emotions machine-readable to being able to add "limbic" visual expression to
our world of text. And if emoji is a language, why can't we translate it; why
so ambiguous?? How do emojis work, both technically underneath the hood... and
in the (committee) Room Where It Happens?
Joining this episode are former VP of Data at Kickstarter Fred Benenson (and
the man behind 'Emoji Dick'); and former New York Times reporter and current
Unicode Emoji subcommittee vice-chair, Jennifer 8. Lee (and one of the women
behind the dumpling emoji) -- in conversation with Sonal Chokshi.
