Craig Dietrich is on the faculty of USC’s Institute for Multimedia Literacy, part of the School of Cinematic Arts, where he teaches scholarly multimedia and web-based production classes and develops interactive scholarship as Info Design Director for the Vectors Journal. Online collaborations include the Mukurtu Archive and Plateau People’s Web Portal content manager based on Aboriginal cultural protocols; ThoughtMesh, a folksonomic online publishing system; the Dynamic Backend Generator, a MySQL-based relational data writing canvas; and Scalar, a new scholarly publishing platform based on semantic web technology. He is presently in production of Magic, a documentary about humanist-programmer collaborations. His presentations and papers are situated at the intersection of trans-nationalism, corporate hierarchies, and local economies, having compared prevalent database paradigms to big-box retail chains, linked Bataille’s Formlessness to RSS feeds, and championed custom, agile software over large content management systems for digital humanities production.
