The Center for the
Recently Possible
ITP’s mission is to explore the imaginative use of communications technologies.
We don’t focus on just teaching technical skills. Instead, we focus on critical thinking, creative exploration, and the ability to learn how to learn. We embrace failure — as long as you learn from it.
ITP is sometimes described as an art school for engineers and at the same time an engineering school for artists. Perhaps the best way to describe us is as a Center for the Recently Possible.
Admissions
The graduate application for the Fall 2026 cycle is now closed. If you wish to be considered for a late application for our waiting list, please email midori.yasuda@nyu.edu for details.
Curriculum
ITP is a two-year program of full-time study leading to a Master of Professional Studies (M.P.S.) degree. From the practical to the experimental, we are pushing the boundaries of interactivity.
Here is a selection of courses, both past and present. Read more about the curriculum.

"The Vape Synth is a project created by a group of makers in New York City who break apart spent Elf Bar nicotine vaporizers and hack them into digital musical instruments. The resulting device still looks like a vape cartridge, but with a small speaker nestled amid an array of lights and buttons. To play it, you put your mouth on it and draw your breath inward, like you would on a vape."
2025 was nuts. The craziest busiest year yet for art and program, Inc.
Flora plans to use its newly acquired funding money to scale its enterprise sales capabilities. Plus, it wants to put more effort into marketing its product. On the product side, it wants to build better creative controls and also add some traditional editing capabilities so professionals don’t need to go to another tool to finish their project. The startup currently has 25 people, and it will possibly double or triple that headcount by the end of the year.
This project was exhibited at the United Nations Headquarters in New York City on December 3, 2025, and from January 2 to January 6, 2026.

When Horn, 37 at the time, founded ECHO in 1989, she wanted to create a digital space that was social and unequivocally New York. Members had to meet two requirements: they had to be geeky enough to navigate a cumbersome, text-based digital platform in the early days of the internet, but culturally in tune enough to foster the types of conversations you might hear at a West Village dinner party.
For Ross Goodwin, an artist, hacker, writer, technologist, former White House ghostwriter under President Obama—and self-described “gonzo data scientist”—AI is a bubbling cauldron of possibilities.
