Jon Winet's "new media" art project about the democratic process can be found online at: http://www.america-the-globe.net/tec Distribution and interactive elements of his work will be transmitted across a range of operating systems, software and video formats, and can be thought of as an ongoing and evolving journalistic diary of campaigns, elections and speeches. The final product? It may include text and voice audio messages, mobile video or photos, web pages, gadgets, widgets, high-definition video projection and sound installation. Past work has used musical and sound-bite flourishes, bits of speeches and songs, digital and print photography, videography, interviews, a nonpartisan stance and a strong online presence. The last presidential election was a year-long project in collaboration with Margaret Crane: America & The Globe. Visitors to that site should be sure to check out the enigmatic video clip entitled "DNC Flashback."Winet, who credits growing up in Europe with giving him "an insatiable appetite for American voice," hears an "American voice" in interviews conducted with voters at political events. He said that cynics view the political process as a series of "entirely fabricated, scripted events," but he sees "tremendous opportunities for getting a snapshot of what Americans are thinking about and what the issues are." One of his students, software developer Craig Dietrich, is also a collaborator on Winet's new media examination of U.S. elections.
