Responses Frames divide the screen, separating words from images, male from female. A persistent high contrast photograph of a window frame suggests a world outside that one can look at but not experience directly. The HTML border divisions create clear delineation between friends and lovers. The stark black and white quality speeds downloads and further enforces the contrast between lost lives. As one proceeds the frames continue to subdivide, almost like a biology experiment under a microscope. The windows of possibility, speculating on death and marriage, continue their dialog of fragmentation and subdivision eventually going to black with 17 frames.
The choice of employing high contrast photographic images with black and white text is a well-conceived aesthetic choice that also translates into a very efficient means of network transmission. The very fast server response allows one to "play" the frames like a keyboard pursuing different strains toward slightly different emotional outcomes.
