Wow what an interesting article there’s so much in this I hardly know where to start... thanks for the history of emojis, it’s really interesting to think about the nuances of their meanings across cultures. I didn’t know about Hirst’s project with Drake. I know he gets a hard rap from lots of folks but I think his work is really interesting. Essentially he is constantly questioning what art is and what its value is. And he has done it again here with all the questions you raise about appropriation, originality etc. interesting question about changing technologies and durability too. Thanks for this, so much to think about!
The portion on Emojis being "born" was fascinating! I remember them first only being on iPhones then "flagship" Android phones. There were ONLY faces I believe and they all were in the form of the Android logo's little character. Of course, I remember when Androids were behind on emojis and little empty rectangles would show up where an emoji would be seen on an iPhone.
