BIO
Curt Cloninger is an artist, writer, and Associate Professor of New Media at the University of North Carolina Asheville. His art undermines language as a system of meaning in order to reveal it as an embodied force in the world. His art work has been featured in the New York Times and at festivals and galleries from Korea to Brazil. Exhibition venues include Centre Georges Pompidou (Paris), Granoff Center for The Creative Arts (Brown University), Digital Art Museum [DAM] (Berlin), Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art (Chicago), Black Mountain College Museum + Arts Center, and the internet. 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. He is also the author of eight books, most recently One Per Year (Link Editions). He maintains lab404.com, playdamage.org , and deepyoung.org in hopes of facilitating a more lively remote dialogue with the Sundry Contagions of Wonder.

laswell on acid
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002E1TTK/
An interesting development for those interested in intellectual
copyright stuff. 4 CDs of royalty-free loops by Bill Laswell,
released by Sony. It's not out yet, but knowing Laswell's penchant
for re-treating other people's stuff (Bob Marley, Miles Davis, Cuban
percussionists, etc.) it will probably contain sources and samples
from other artists in the Sony catalog. So instead of laundering
money, it's like Laswell is laundering audio. You c an't sample a
Wailers' bass line directly without risking a law suit, but now you
can sample Laswell sampling said bass line and it's legal.
Not surprisingly, you pay extra for the royalty-free re-use rights.
It's like the stock photography licenising model with which graphic
designers are familiar. Other royalty-free audio loop CDs exist, but
none (to my knowledge) by anyone as famous as Laswell. It's akin to
buying royalty-free stock photography from Ansel Adams (or Man Ray,
given that it's Laswell).
Personally, I'm still illegally mining this bad boy for all my
percussive needs:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000000HP4/
but then not everybody wants to sound like Adam and the Ants circa 1980.

Just joking. Really, there is this monkey named Cookie, and she appears to have a posse.
I hope that helps.
