About

Shift Space is an annual digital publication exploring new media landscapes and spotlighting the Knight Arts + Tech Fellows. The Initiatives team at United States Artists works with a guest editor and contributors to commission new writing on the field and fellows for each issue. Shift Space 1.0 was released in March 2021.

Shift Space 2.0 was edited by Natalia Zuluaga and copy edited by Sara Roffino with translations by Yoán Moreno. Audio essays were produced by Descriptive Video Works. Image descriptions were provided by Zachary Nichol.

United States Artists administers the Knight Arts + Tech Fellowship and produces Shift Space on behalf of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. Learn more about Initiatives at USA.
