MAGIC SQUARES SCREEN SAVER

The Magic Square design is based on the Chinese Magic Square of Nine. It's the result of creating a numerical notation system based on the number of units represented. Thus, one is represented by one square and two by two squares and so on. An unintended feature of the design is that the even numbered symbols are the visual negative of the odd numbered ones. In the Chinese cosmology, this would represent a reconciliation of heaven and earth, male and female principles, etc.

This screen saver was especially created by Jim Johnson on the occasion of this online exhibition. It was designed for use on a Power Macintosh computer. To use it copy it into your System Folder and restart your computer. Set the screen saver options in the Magic Squares control panel.
