About

YORB2020 is a multi-user social space online, created at NYU's Interactive Telecommunications Program in response to the quarantine conditions of COVID-19, this project attempts to provide the ITP community with a shared virtual space to hang out, collaborate and work near each other.

History

Yorb draws its inspiration from a 1990s interactive television show YORB (Your Orb) created by Dan O'Sullivan for Manhattan Neighborhood Network (a public access television station in New York City). It existed and evolved over several years as an ongoing project at the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) at New York University.

For more information about the television show YORB, watch some of the videos on the Unofficial YORB Video Archive or check out the Yarchive at yorb.online.
