The artists’ concept proposal states: “The check-box (sometimes called a ‘tick-box’, is a common symbol used in hard copy paper transactions such as a ballot box with checks, multiple choice tests, or as a computer control that allow the user of the check-box to make a binary choice, typically between ‘true or false’, ‘yes or no’, ‘right or wrong’, ‘on or off’, ‘complete or incomplete’. The check mark is immediately recognizable as a predominantly affirmative symbol because of its instant and simplistic composition. While the use and widespread understanding of this symbol within popular culture appears to be decidedly modern, (especially due to its incorporation into computer operating systems it is interesting to note that the symbol may have been created at sometime during the Roman Empire. It is thought that the word “Veritas” (meaning true was shortened to the letter “V”. This abbreviation was used to indicate true, yes, or confirmed regarding verifying items on a list. Over time its design began to change. As people became hasty with their writing the right side of the letter “V” began to elongate resulting in the symbol we know and use today.”
