One Per Year Curt Cloninger

One Per Year is a collection of fifteen essays written between 2000 and 2014. The topics range from media theory to philosophy related to media theory to music reviews to art reviews to thoughts on design. Like a time capsule, the book archives 15 years of media history from the point of view of the same person, an artist and theorist who went himself through an evolution, from his early interest in hacking and web design to his encounter with internet art and continental philosophy, to his participation in recent debates around glitch art and the New Aesthetic. Curt Cloninger is an artist, writer, and Assistant Professor of New Media at the University of North Carolina Asheville (Us). His art undermines language as a system of meaning in order to reveal it as an embodied force in the world. His work has been featured in the New York Times and at festivals, galleries and museums from Korea to Brazil. He maintains lab404.com, playdamage.org, and deepyoung.org.
