www.iowaindependent.com Artist and software developer Craig Dietrich, is also a collaborator on Jon Winet’s “new media” examination of US elections. http As part of the uiowa Intermedia Program’s community practicum, Dietrich designed the website for Iowa City Senior Center Television, something Winet describes as a “very sophisticated video on-demand, multi-channel network.” The page is packed with video choices while remaining easily navigated. Senior Center video producers Claire Shaw and Jean Lloyd Jones have a new media election project of their own, seen on the SCTV channel: “For President.” icsctv.uiowa.edu Dietrich, an MFA candidate in Intermedia, said he believes that “in some sense the web browser fails as a means of being print media.” He thinks that websites should focus on navigational controls and display; that is, essentially, they should accent their abilities in four dimensions, instead of only two dimensions.
