ADJACENT is an online journal of emerging media published by the Interactive Telecommunications Program of New York University (often just called ITP). Our mission is to share research, analysis, and opinion from and for the diverse creators that are exploring the contemporary moment.
ITP is ruthlessly interdisciplinary and unfailingly experimental, and we aim for ADJACENT to be as well. We take our name from the term ‘adjacent possible,’ coined by the biologist Stuart Kaufman to describe how organisms change, grow and flourish just by existing near entities different from themselves. We believe our adjacencies to diverse media, people and disciplines spark both creative insight and critical reflection.
