This paper describes a doctorial dissertation that explores one of the
semiotic fundamentals of many art and design works: the nature of
pictorial references to abstract content.1 This approach combines
theoretical investigation with artistic experiments. It is one of the rather
rare research set-ups in which an artistic process is employed as a
heuristic tool.
