He is the recipient of several grants and awards, including commissions for the creation of new artwork from the National Endowment for the Arts (via Turbulence.org) and Austin Peay State University's Terminal Award.

Cloninger has written on a wide range of topics, including new media and internet art, installation and performance art, experimental graphic design, popular music, network culture, and continental philosophy. His articles have appeared in Intelligent Agent, Mute, Paste, Tekka, Rhizome Digest, A List Apart, and on ABC World News.

the cherohala skyway


oh i dream a highway back to you love
a winding ribon with a band of gold
a silver vision come and rest my soul
i dream a highway back to you

john, he's kicking out the footlights
the grand old oprey's got a brand new bag
lord, let me die with a hammer in my hand
i dream a highway back to you

i think i'll move down into memphis
and thank the hatchet man who forked my tongue
i lie and wait until the wagon's come
and dream a highway back to you

the getaway kicking up cinders
an empty wagon full of rattling bones
boot in the mirror on a three hour jones
i dream a highway back to you

oh i dream a highway back to you love
a winding ribon with a band of gold
a silver vision come arrest my soul
i dream a highway back to you

which lover are you, jack of diamonds
now you be emmylou and i'll be gram
i sent a letter, don't know who i am
i dream a highway back to you

i'm an indisguisable shade of twilight
any second now i'm gonna turn myself on
in the blue display of the cool cathode ray
i dream a highway back to you

i wish you knew me, jack of diamonds
fire-eyed and wheeling when i lay them out
drank whiskey with my water, sugar with my tea
my sales in rags with the staggers and the jags
i dream a highway back to you

oh i dream a highway back to you love
a winding ribon with a band of gold
a silver vision come molest my soul
i dream a highway back to you

now give me some of what you're having
i'll take you as a viper into my head
a knife into my bed, arsenic when i'm fed
i dream a highway back to you

hangover head from all directions
radiation from the porcelain light
blinding blistered by the molding white
i dream a highway back to you

sunday morning at the diner
hollywood trembles on the verge of tears
i watch the waitress for a thousand years
saw a wheel inside a wheel
heard a call within a call
i dreamed a highway back to you

oh i dream a highway back to you love
a winding ribon with a band of gold
a silver vision convalesce my soul
i dream a highway back to you

step into the light poor lazarus
don't lie alone behind the window shade
let me see the mark death made
i dream a highway back to you
i dream a highway back to you

what will sustain us through the winter
where did last year's lessons go
walk me out into the rain and snow
i dream a highway back to you

oh i dream a highway back to you love
a winding ribon with a band of gold
a silver vision come and bless my soul
i dream a highway back to you
i dream a highway back to you

oh i dream a highway back to you love
a winding ribon with a band of gold
a silver vision come and bless my soul
i dream a highway back to you

Re: nytimes article on rhizome and commission launch


Josephine Bosma, a sound artist in the Netherlands and a longtime Rhizome contributor, said the site "might be a nice pool of information on developments in the digital arts, but it lacks critical perspective."

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

1. From "(This Is) Spinal Tap":

Scene: Elvis's Grave

DAVID: Well this is thoroughly depressing.
NIGEL: It really puts perspective on things, though, doesn't it?
DAVID: Too much, there's too much fucking perspective now.

2. From '80s NPR commentary:
Authors who complain that nobody reads anymore really mean, "Nobody reads me, boo hoo."
