“The icons produced with common meanings and messages in this process 
are the patterns of art, political life, religion, culture and 
subculture. The common adoption of the meaning of these units gives the 
basis of any visual language. From the perspective of our approach to 
the question of confusion, the change of the role of icons plays an 
important part in the sense of chaos. The signs of a politically and 
ideologically conducted world in any kind of totalitarian system could 
play with the visuals by segregating the ideological from the 
commercial, and moreover by separating the local use of symbols from 
their global sources and essential meanings. Democracy as a system 
opens up all of the possible uses of visual messages, which leads to 
parallel appearances of very different patterns. The reading of these 
differences is open to intellectuals up to the point where the symbols 
are no longer a part of the self expression of local or global - less 
known - subcultures. The long  history of the function of this practice 
of communities creating and using images is without doubt, just as the 
quantity of the used images increases with global culture, linked to 
the possibility for greater access to these languages, something that 
becomes more and more difficult.” (Extras from Zsolt Petranyi, “Chaos: 
The age of confusion”, Pavilion no.9/reader BB2)
