viewsouce is nungu's resume, embedded in its html code.   nungu is  a
digital entity - a human / a cyborg / a piece of codework / a mutating virus
- with its own peculiar characteristics, whims, contradicitons, ambitions.
its resume is a first person piece of code[text]work and details nungu's
characteristics alongside those of its creators. nungu is the interface,
the [authors] remain in the background, they are the source code.

[SURFACE]
nungu's entry/index pages are chosen at random from an ever expanding
selection, by a script. They alert the user to the multiple identities of
nungu. clicking through the intial pages the user comes to the directory
page in which all works are listed plus the prompt

':>>:.;::>....;>:.view...:::::::::::source;:>>>:..;;.<::>:>'

[SUBLIMINAL]
as object orientated programming creates its object and defines its
properties, when nungu's source code changes its interface mutates:
different avatars, plays with identity, disguises - the real identity is
underneath the inter[sur]face, at the  source, the code.  even this identity
though, is not static, static in appearance unlike the interface, but not
static in its definition, it is an evolving manifesto, a mutating virus

as authors, identifying ourselves with the source code signals the desire to
be sovereign, autonomous, underground and undetectable.  as code we are free
from visual surveillance at the level of data and yet directly participate
in it.  the code does not partake in the spectacle but functions invisibly,
performs subversively and avoids the transparent.
