personifying virtual characters @09:33 AM

a few links pointing to Netochka Nezvanova, n4t0's visionary / rhetorician / coder. she is made up. n4t0, or nato, as the less pretentious of us call it, is not my favorite. good art project if that's your sort of thing, but poor documentation made the whole thing more aggravating than it was worth. But it's worth studying, getting a feel for how nezvanova was so successfully fabricated. below are some sample links.

- Ny Arts Magazine Interview
- Salon Article
- Nato Artistic Statement, penned by nezvanova herself...
- Salon Article
- More Nato rhetoric. I swear, the help files actually looked like this.
- If interested, this is a portal to many more of these writings, etc. Certainly the quantity was remarkable.
- And just for fun, nezvanova responds to being tossed from cycling-74's (makers of Max/MSP, the software under which Nato software ran) max forum.
