Experimental Wing

Intermedia collaborates with the Writing University to produce "The Experimental Wing." The Writing University is a campus-wide initiative to bring all of Iowa's writing programs together online.

Launched in December 2006, the 'Wing' embraces the creative interdisciplinary potential of digital production and community-based practice. It is dedicated to the exploration of experimental literary and multimedia hypertext research and production. Time-based media [Internet-based radio and television], online publishing and live events are integral parts of 'Wing' research.

The Daily Palette

In conjunction with the Year of the Arts & Humanities in 2004-2005, Intermedia developed The Daily Palette in order to highlight the creative work of Iowa-identified artists. ICRCU Editorial Fellow Ellis Mumford coordinates the Project.

The Daily Palette combines Intermedia's art & technology research with a broad public information effort. Our goal is to heighten interest, awareness and appreciation of the arts in Iowa.

The Daily Palette is linked at the bottom right corner of the University of Iowa Web Site

An ongoing feature of the Palette is "Iowa Writes," a project of The Iowa Review launched in conjunction with the Year of Public Engagement. Writing by Iowans, selected by the editors of The Iowa Review is featured on a revolving basis with visual arts.

Jenna Hammerich coordinates "Iowa Writes."

Projekt Oko Sokolovo

Each year an Intermedia graduate student is awarded a ten-week residency in Rijeka, on the Adriatic coast of Croatia.

Projekt Oko Sokolovo, Croatian for "Project Hawkeye", was developed in collaboration with Nadija Mustapic, Intermedia Adjunct Assistant Professor, who serves as the project's on-site coordinator at the University of Rijeka Academy of Applied Arts.

The Intermedia student works as a teaching assistant at the University of Rijeka Academy of Applied Arts, participates in the dynamic local arts scene, and organizes exhibitions and presentations in Croatia and Iowa City.

Intermedia | New Media

In fall 2002, Intermedia launched "Intermedia|New Media," a visiting artist/scholar program. Visitors present their work and conduct studio visits with School of Art and Art History students. Chicago-based videographer and AIDS activist Gregg Bordowitz and Intermedia artist Claire Pentecost were the inaugural artists in the program.
