Are there dreams for the future that aren’t nightmares? Announcing ADJACENT
Issue 6: OLD/NEW/NEXT from NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program.
https://itp.nyu.edu/adjacent/issue-6/
ADJACENT is an online journal of emerging media published by the
Interactive Telecommunications Program, or ITP. Its mission is to share
research, reflection, observations, and opinions from and for the diverse
creators that are exploring the possibilities and directions at the
frontiers of media and technology.
Old/New/Next sounds like it could be a slogan of mid-20th century America:
casting off the past, ascendantly modern, moving toward a bright future.
But in a contemporary moment in which so much of the future feels as though
it has already been predicted, data mined, and sold off, this slogan takes
on a more ironic tone, and taking the time to cast a critical eye back
toward the past seems like an act of resilience, or at least an act of
refuge-seeking. The Interactive Telecommunications Program is turning 40
this year, and for Adjacent Issue 6 we wanted to take this birthday as an
opportunity for us to look back on the past 40 years of media and
technology, reflect on what that history can inform us about the future of
the field, and interpret how the dreams of the past brought about the
present, for better and for worse.
