Abstract. Superposition of more than one single harmonic oscillation in both x- and y-direction of the plane yields an infinite family of curves. This is a kind of generalization of the classical Lissajous curves. The variety of such curves may serve not only displaying abstract forms but conceptual contents as well. This can be the source of a new branch of computer art.
