_The Dynamics of a Code.Wurk Meaning Trajectory_
][mez breeze][


It would seem that a majority of users/readers/viewers are prepared to be 
meaning-fed via the traditional sensory mirroring/chunking that we all 
consider a signification by-product of regulatory art, entertainment or 
even culturally defined activity [sound, text, image, movement, and the as 
yet largely abortive taste/"smell-o-vision" fad]. This makes the 
development of our ability to rewire or reroute these basic 
sensory-interfaced telemetries and meaning gauges less important than our 
need to traditionally perceive and construct meaning via a 
biologically-mandated front. Work that is intrinsically linked to code.wurk 
production [net.writing] is often perceived - or sensed - as nonsense or 
less evolved in terms of practice than other, more obvious multi-mediac 
work because of this;  code/net.wurks seem incapable of being absorbed via 
the reflective modes that assist in their construction.

The works available in "_][ad][Dressed in a Skin C.ode_" 
[http://www.cddc.vt.edu/host/netwurker/] all stem from a basic net.wurk 
practice; one that projects via email lists as an instinctive reaction to 
the data-in-flux/meniscus that surrounds and supports it.  These email 
code.wurks delineate a particular trajectory [in terms of net usage to 
define and actualise the work] more aptly than the "click & explore" 
versions that are present in the resulting documents; however, the 
multitude of  _Texts_ [this term is used inclusively in reference to more 
than the typed elements alone] accessible via _][ad][Dressed in a Skin 
C.ode_ are largely meaning-negotiable in terms of the initial-in-net-utero 
email core construction. Interestingly, a large chunk of the user/viewer 
population seem reluctant to engage these "raw" core/code.wurks in terms of 
meaning extraction and absorption.

The DNA of programmer fare is code: the schemata of mobile/relay chat is 
manufactured via abbreviation, punctuation, and character realignment: the 
nuances of web communication are framed, linked & nestled in network 
strata. I choose to adopt/co-opt these mechanisms and assume that soon [in 
terms of a gradual re-educative filtration process] users will be able to 
recognize the source-modes and compile their sensory abilities along the 
lines of newly-produced expressions intimately related to the stuff of 
net.wurked life rather than on regulation sensory reverberations.
