Adjacent Issue 13 (2026)

ADJACENT is a journal of emerging media published by New York University. Its mission is to share research, analysis, and opinions from contemporary artists. It takes its name from the term ‘adjacent possible,’ coined by the biologist Stuart Kauffman to describe how organisms change, grow and flourish just by existing near entities different from themselves.

As an editor for Adjacent, Ryan Webber worked with Mac Andre Arboleda and Dela Anyah on their written submissions and topic research for Issue #13. He also co-wrote the editorial statement. The release of the online edition was paired with a beading workshop using a printed version.
