nungu is a digital entity, located in the network - a human / a cyborg / a
piece of codework / a mutating virus - with its own peculiar
characteristics, whims, contradicitons, ambitions.  viewsouce is nungu's
resume, embedded in its html code. nungu's resume is a first person piece of
code[text]work and details nungu's characteristics alongside those of its
creators. nungu is the interface, we [the authors] remain in the background,
we 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, yes static in appearance unlike the interface, but
not static in its definition, it is an evolving manifesto, a mutating virus
in the datascape. 

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