  • Abstract
    Various kinds of icons for visual communications have been used from the very beginning of human history. We can find such various kinds of icons in world\´s wall paintings or hieroglyphs and so on. There are lots of similarities among these icons. Because of this, even though most of us are not using these icons or old characters, we sometimes feel a kind of nostalgic feeling toward these forms. This art realizes the integration of various kinds of icons that have existed throughout the human history and throughout the human races, jumping the gap of time and space. And these integrated icons are augmented on the actual scenery of today. On a display of a smart phone, there are various icons flowing around on the space. Users are allowed to write the "NEW" meaning of the icon sequence in English. The pictograph and the background are synthesized together.
