Using the boundless qualities of the Internet, Fortnight featured innovators from disciplines as varied as art, science, technology, economics and policy to compose a digital portrait of the first generation\u2014born roughly between 1978 and 1990\u2014raised on and by the Internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2010, The New York Times published a story on the Millennials\u2019 \u201cfailure to launch.\u201d But where The Times saw Millennials as slouching toward adulthood, Fortnight saw a generation redefining success on their own terms. The Times suggested that Millennials are still children, but Fortnight believed they are the children of connectivity. Democratized access has produced a demographic naturally fluent in interactive expression, making Millennials naturally prone to pushing creative and intellectual boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortnight is a living exhibition of the achievements of 58 extraordinary Millennials that relies on a variety of multimedia platforms to offer readers a window into their lives and disciplines. Each entry in the Fortnight library boasts a uniquely singular glimpse into the life and work of the Fortnightist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some contributors were paired with mentors in their discipline, promoting cross-generational dialogue that acknowledges history and tackles innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortnight is a project of the Fourteen Foundation Inc., a non-profit public initiatuive devoted to cross-generational mentorship by documenting and sustaining dialogue on traditional forms of practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is excerpted from Fortnight&#8217;s full&nbsp;ABOUT, please visit and peruse their deeply meaningful work and full cohort of contributors.
