When projecting a movie, presentation or whatever onto a canvas, anything you see as black (text, etc) is just the pure plain white without light shining on it.

Turn the projector off and the parts that looked black a second ago now look chalk white with no changes done to that part.

So what you're saying is it's all a matter of perspective

If you take it as a philosophical metaphor, I guess I would go for "context can change everything" :)
