XD

XD is a print magazine centered on artists in New York City whose work prioritizes intuition and human touch. At a moment when culture feels so algorithmically optimized and disposable, XD highlights personal creative practices that are shaped by identity and human experiences.

XD ISSUE 001: Human Touch focuses on the tension between human expression and machine tools in the age of content production. Featuring artists navigating New York through the lens of immigration, queerness and womanhood, XD looks at how intuition and lived experiences shape art in ways that cannot be automated. Through photography, interviews, and editorial features, XD explores what remains distinctly human in the art of making.
