Craig Dietrich is a digital artist, scholar, and educator who directs the digital humanities program at the Claremont Colleges in Claremont, California.
Dietrich began his multimedia career as an Exhibit Engineering Assistant at The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose, California. He attended Adrian C. Wilcox High School in Santa Clara, California. In 2008, he was a professor in the University of Maine New Media Department and continues as a researcher at UMaine's Still Water lab. Beginning in 2009, before moving to the Claremont Colleges, he was on the faculty of the Division of Media Arts and Practice, part of the School of Cinematic Arts, at the University of Southern California (USC), where he taught media studies and multimedia production.
Dietrich was the first lead developer of the Mukurtu Archive, a media content manager based on the Warumungu community Dillybag. The project sparked discussion on Digital Rights Management and archival support of non-Western cultural protocols. Lawyer Wendy Seltzer describes, "Rather than fight copyright norms with bad code, we should learn from the Warumungu and build code (and law) to support social practice."
