When one looks at a certain object only as representing another, the idea one has of it is a sign. This is usually how one looks at paintings...So when a sign becomes a representation of this certain object it can be slowly interfered with to the boundaries of its legibility. The sign works only as long as we associate it with this certain object.
By combining different sets of signs, one can create a personal meta-language, a very own code of communication. Choosing to place this in the public places, one can make a network of signs, a meta-map. Nonetheless, a viewer cannot crack their code and is incapable of re-creating it, so the message of this codes remains enigmatic.
