There are many kinds of languages, but can we say that there are human

specific languages? What is the role of a specific symbolic system in human

perception of the world? Is the language of Art the unique way to describe certain
things in the world? (Susan Langer)
The artworks that I am using are symbols that substitute an absent reality. To
understand how this affects to them, we have to first understand what is a
non-propositive symbolic system.
A symbol is a «mark or character used as a conventional representation of an
object, function, or process, e.g. the letter or letters standing for a chemical element
or a character in musical notation»1.
