White on White is a dynamic representation of the white on white
concept inspired by Duchamp and conceived by Malevich in 1918. When
users enter this project, they will see a blank screen that changes randomly
every 7 seconds. Each screen contains a different meaning of the word white.
There are 20 individual denotations and 1 global definition (represented
by the page number 0), which gives a total of 21 (a Fibonacci number).
One of the attributes of this work is that all the definitions have been
placed in white color using <font color="#FFFFFF">. In this way, all
the meanings stay invisible unless the user looks at the code or highlights
the white text.
With this cybernetic version of white on white‚ I’m proposing a poetic
and Heraclitean lecture of what we call white, by understanding white as
something that is in permanent change while it keeps static; a paradox
that is solved when the significant and the meaning are the same.
