The University of Iowa Intermedia Program seeks creative, committed
students for its two-year MA | three-year MFA program
Application Deadline: February 1, 2011
Founded in 1968, Intermedia is one of the oldest programs in the United States dedicated to emerging media and interdisciplinary research in the arts. Intermedia emphasizes experimentation, collaboration, and research in New Media, community-based and social practice, experimental writing, installation, performance, social media, sound, video, and other time-based media.
We encourage social engagement and international experience through our collaborations with Iowa City Senior Center Television (ICSC TV) and the University of Rijeka Academy of Applied Arts, and Molekula, a media collective in Croatia. With ICSC TV, Intermedia encourages and assists in intergenerational video production for local television and online distribution. Through Projekt Oko Sokolovo, one MFA student annually is selected for a semester-long residency in Croatia.
Intermedia also works with the Virtual Writing University Experimental Wing, and recently launched the alpha site for XWRI, Experimental Wing Radio Intermedia, an online radio initiative.
Intermedia operates within the School of Art and Art History at The University of Iowa, a large public university with core strengths in the arts. The university is home to the world-renowned Iowa Writer's Workshop, strong departments of dance, music, and theater, and highly regarded studio arts MFA programs. The University of Iowa is located in Iowa City, a vibrant college town of 70,000 that was the third city to be honored with the UNESCO designation 'City of Literature.' The Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area has a total population of 425,000 and is about three and a half hours to Chicago by car or Megabus.
Intermedia offers excellent facilities in the Studio Arts Building, a 250,000 square foot creative warehouse shared by all studio arts programs. All Intermedia students are provided with studio space.
Funding for graduate students is very competitive, and teaching and research assistants are represented by the Committee of Graduate Students, a recognized labor union since 1996. Intermedia make every effort to provide a minimum quarter-time research and teaching assitantships to its graduate students. Its current students all receive support.
