Birth, Art Gallery, Death

<p><em>Birth, Art Gallery, Death</em> is a minimalist triptych in the form of a screensaver package by Elna Frederick, an obscure artist from Computers Club. With white as life and black as death, each screen saver panel marks a stage in the cycle of consciousness. <em>Birth</em> is the genesis of consciousness through a birth canal of white arriving out of darkness. <em>Art Gallery</em>, where black is conspicuously absent, is the finite enclosure of a lifetime. Its contents are the thoughts and creations arising in consciousness; representations of life. <em>Death</em>, represented by black slowly descending upon a white screen, is ultimately a representation of life.</p>
