In this work the screen is divided into two sections. The left-hand side shows a 32 x 32 grid, the conventional template for icons commonly seen on computer desktops. As the mouse is moved over this grid a diverse number of icons are displayed on the grid, blown up to approximately 10 times their usual scale. Whilst this happens the right-hand side of the screen displays a picture being painted, the movements of the brush following those of the mouse, displaced across the screen, and the brush itself being composed of a smaller version of the icon (a 10 x 10 pixel version). When the mouse is rolled off of the grid the entire image on the right-hand side of the screen is captured and re-scaled to become a new and unique icon, also displayed on the icon grid.
